IDINEKLARA ng Korte Suprema ang constitutionality ng Republic Act Number 10963 o Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law.
Ikinatuwa naman ni Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, na siyang pangunahing may-akda ng batas, ang naging desyon ng Korte Suprema.
“The Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the TRAIN Law demonstrates the Court’s commitment to upholding its usual respect for the primacy of Congress in enacting tax legislation. If the law were voided, major increases in the take-home pay of average taxpayers would have been nullified – including the five percent or so increase in take-home that workers received from the TRAIN law this 2023,” sabi ni Salceda.
Ibinasura ng Korte Suprema ang mga petisyon laban sa TRAIN law.
“The vote showed a near-total consensus among Justices that the Court will respect Congress’ long-established breadth of latitude over fiscal policy. That gives us a lot of room to improve tax policy, without fear of the Supreme Court striking these reforms down unjustly,” aniya.
