Internal Revenue Allotment Or IRA Is The Share Of The Local Government Units From Revenues Of The National Government

-
Internal Revenue Allotment or IRA is the share of the Local Government Units from revenues of the national government.


The term "revenues of the national government" refers to all revenues or national taxes collected by the BIR, BOC, and other national government agencies.

Some years back, Batangas Governor Hermilando Mandanas filed before the SUPREME COURT a case against the national government for misappropriating LGUs' Internal Revenue Allotment (or share in the national taxes) by considering only BIR's revenues in determining IRA without including revenues collected by the BOC and other national government agencies thereby resulting in the deficiency IRA amounting to P600 billion. Governor Mandanas won the case.

The SUPREME COURT, in its final decision (G.R. No. 199802 and G.R. No. 208488 decided 2018-07-03 final since 2019-04-10), ordered the Department of Finance (DOF) to pay all LGUs P600 billion IRA.

President Duterte was overjoyed upon learning of the Supreme Court Decision and vowed to explore and find a way to implement the SC decision. Unfortunately, DOF secretary Carlos G. Dominguez 3rd defied to implement the said SC decision allegedly because the government does not have money. The secretary wants it enforced in the next administration.

P600 billion is such a gargantuan amount of funds for use in the development of the LGUs; more importantly now that our country is experiencing an extremely dangerous catastrophe triggered by the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) disease.

Had secretary Dominguez not suspended payment thereof, all LGUs could have already received their respective shares even on staggered bases.

VAT is an indirect tax and the amount of tax may be shifted to or passed on to the buyer, transferee, or lessee of goods, properties or services. It is a tax on consumption of goods, services or other dealings involving the same. It forms a significant portion of consumers expenses. It is a “tax credit method” wherein the Input VAT paid or incurred by a VAT-registered entity is creditable against the Output VAT which it shifts to or passes on to another VAT-registered entity or buyer-end-user. In other words, Output VAT minus Input VAT. Under the sa...
