According to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, backs BIR decision to require all online merchants to declare their profits from selling merchandise online. This also includes delivery platforms.

A surge of online selling activities were recorded as people finds a way to earn extra income amid the the COVID-19 lockdown. Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said that while existing tax laws also applies to online selling. There are also laws under the tax reform act that gives exemptions to businesses.

Referring to the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act, annual earnings less than ₱250,000 are tax exempt.

However, Roque admitted that the funds from Covid-19 are primarily from the collection of BIR and Customs hence the government are looking for ways to increase the tax intake.
