Hi NTRC,

We would like to seek information and clarification on the Excise Tax rate for Imported Liquefied Natural Gas. So far we have not seen any clear provision in the TRAIN Law nor in any BIR Revenue Regulation.

We would appreciate receiving your reply in the soonest possible time.

Truly yours

Dear Mr. Salvo,

This is in response to your request via Freedom of Information (FOI) Philippines website dated January 30, 2020 on the excise tax rate of imported liquefied natural gas.

Republic Act (RA) No. 9337, otherwise known as the Reformed Value Added Tax (RVAT) Law, made locally extracted natural gas and liquefied natural gas not subject to the excise tax on mineral products. Prior to the amendment, said products were taxed at the rate of two percent.

RA No. 10963, otherwise known as the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law, retained the exemption of locally extracted natural gas and liquefied natural gas from the excise tax on mineral products.

For further clarification, you may also ask from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on this matter. 

Thank you.
