Philippines tax bureau predicting near 50% fall in POGO tax revenue in 2021

Philippines tax bureau predicting near 50% fall in POGO tax revenue in 2021 595 VIEWS The Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue is estimating that tax revenue from Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) will fall by almost 50% in 2021, impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report by CNN Philippines, projections provided to the senate by BIR Deputy Commissioner Arnel Guballa show tax revenues falling from Php7.18 billion (US$148 million) in 2020 to Php3.92 billion (US$81 million). The projection is based on a 69% decline in January revenue collected from POGOs to Php327.2 million (US$6.7 million). Falling tax revenues come as POGOs continue to resist the implementation of a new taxation scheme recently approved by Philippine lawmakers that would see licensed POGOs pay a gaming tax of 5% on gross gaming revenues and POGO workers earning Php600,000 or more per year a 25% withholding tax.
