THE Anti-Red Tape Authority has urged government agencies to make doing business easier for online sellers, whose profile and potential to contribute more to state revenues were raised amid the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
ARTA supports the government’s initiative to require online sellers to register. But with the deadline for registration set for July 31, the agency said it wanted to ensure that people“We need to find a winnable and rational solution. As in our mandate, let us pursue a whole-of-government approach in promoting efficiency, but without sacrificing public interest,” ARTA Director General Jeremiah Belgica said.
Besides meeting with the abovementioned state agencies, ARTA will also hold a stakeholders’ meeting for online sellers in the coming weeks to discuss pertinent matters in their business registration experience.Public attention paid to enterprises who conduct business online have increased since March, when the government put Luzon under enhanced community quarantine to contain the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
Sen. Ana Theresia “Risa” Hontiveros urged the bureau to withdraw and review its plan to impose tax on online sellers, since it required them to spend about P4,000 to register to avoid penalties.
