President Benigno S. Aquino III has approved the bill exempting
persons with disabilities (PWD) from paying value added tax (VAT).
Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. on Tuesday (March 29)
said President Aquino signed Republic Act 10754 into law last March 23.
Under the new law, PWDs are exempted from paying VAT on medical
and dental fees, cost of medications, professional fees of doctors in
government and private hospitals, funeral and burial services, and fees in
theaters and amusement parks.
Senator Ralph Recto and Leyte Representative Martin Romualdez were
the principal authors of the bill. (PCOO News Release)
