  • Impact of the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 Pandemic on Local Amusement Tax Collection of Local Government Units in the Philippines*
    NTRC Tax Research Journal Vol. XXXII.6 November-December 2020 Impact of the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 Pandemic on Local Amusement Tax Collection of Local Government Units in the Philippines* I. INTRODUCTION The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has compelled the Philippine government to enforce lockdown measures to minimize, if not stop the spread of the disease. In addition, stay-at-home directives, physical distancing protocols, and prohibition on mass gatherings were also adopted as safety precautions. During the period of enhanced community quarantine and the modified enhanced community quarantine, non-essential businesses were compelled to close shops while some essential businesses were allowed to operate. Among the businesses that are considered non- essential are those that belong to the amusement and entertainment sector such as movie theaters, malls, clubs, etc. This study assesses the impact of COVID-19 on amusement tax revenue of the local government units (LGUs) and the impact of the “new normal” on their ability to contribute to the needed revenues of the LGUs. The study also presents the imposition of amusement taxes in other jurisdictions. II. AMUSEMENT TAXES IN THE PHILIPPINES There are two types of amusement taxes in the Philippines. The first is imposed by the National Government through the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) based on Section 125 of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) of 1997, as amended. The second type is the local amusement tax imposed by the province, city, and municipality within Metropolitan Manila Area (MMA) as provided under Section 140 of the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991, as amended.
