Social Welfare and Development Secretary Esperanza I. Cabral said that 50 foreign donors for victims of the recent typhoons have been granted tax exemptions for their donations and their goods have been released promptly to their local consignees as provided for by Executive Order No. 831 issued by President Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo on October 1.
EO 831 authorized the Department of Finance, for the duration of the current emergency, complete discretion in granting tax and tariff exemptions for relief goods donated from abroad provided these are for the account of the DSWD or any of the relief organizations not operated for profit, duly registered with and approved by the DSWD.
The donated goods came from groups or individuals from countries such as Taiwan, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Korea, USA, Australia, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia.
