The Value Added Tax and Red Tape: What Contributes More to Electricity Tariffs in the Philippines Ramon L. Clarete Energy Policy and Development Program Abstract Among several factors that may explain why electricity in the Philippines is expensive compared to other ASEAN member states, this paper zeroes in on two: the value added tax (VAT) and red tape in obtaining generation business permits. Legislators have raised the timeliness of lifting just the VAT on electricity to reduce electricity prices. This study however observes that red tape may contribute three times more than the VAT to making electricity costly in the country.
