EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 311 - CREATING
A COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE THE PRESENT TAX SYSTEM, TO STUDY OTHER METHODS
OF TAXATION AND TO RECOMMEND REVISIONS IN THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF TAXATION
WHEREAS,
there is a need to determine whether the existing systems of taxation
are responsive to the requirements of government, taking into account
the expenditures necessary for the accomplishment of its various
programs that inure to the public welfare and its day-to-day expenses
in delivering governmental services to the public;
WHEREAS, to improve the government’s tax collection efforts it is
necessary to increase the taxpayer base as well as simplify the types
and manner of collecting taxes;
WHEREAS, the expansion of the taxpayer base and simplification of taxes
may be greatly enhanced by a system of taxation that encourages
voluntary compliance, and reduction of the internal revenue
authorities’ discretion to determine the amount of tax to be collected.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, hereby
direct and order, as follows:
Section 1.
The Committee shall study possible changes to existing tax laws that
will comply with the objectives of this Executive Order, and recommend
the same for their passage into law.
Sec. 2.
Sec. 3.
Sec. 4.
Sec. 5.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 3rd day of November, in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand.
