82 OG No. 27, 3147 (July 7, 1986)

[ EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 21, June 19, 1986 ]

AMENDING SECTION 128 OF THE NATIONAL INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AS AMENDED, BY REVISING THE SPECIFIC TAX RATES ON PETROLEUM PRODUCTS.



WHEREAS, the recent rollbacks in the prices of petroleum products have resulted in a substantial loss of revenue due to the reduction in the ad valorem tax collections;

WHEREAS, considering the expected budgetary deficits for the current year, it comes imperative to revise the specific tax rates on these products to recoup the aforecited revenue loss;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Republic of the Philippines, do hereby direct and order that:

SECTION 1. Section 128 of the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended, is hereby further amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"SEC. 128. Manufactured Oils and Other Fuels. There shall be collected on refined and manufactured mineral oils and motor fuels, the following excise taxes which shall attach to the articles hereunder enumerated as soon as they are in existence as such:

"(a For products subject to specific tax only:

"(1 Lubricating oils, per liter of volume capacity, four pesos and fifty centavos;

"(2) Processed gas, per liter of volume capacity, five centavos;

"(3 Greases, waxes and petroleum, per kilogram, four pesos and fifty centavos; and

On denatured alcohol to be used for motive power, per liter of volume capacity, five centavos: Provided, That unless otherwise provided by special laws, if the denatured alcohol is mixed with gasoline, the excise tax on which has already been paid, only the alcohol content shall be subject to the tax herein prescribed. For purposes of this subsection, the removal of denatured alcohol of not less than one hundred eighty degrees proof (ninety per cent absolute alcohol) shall be deemed to have been removed from motive power, unless shown otherwise.
