[ EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 195, June 17, 1987 ]
AMENDING PARAGRAPH (B) OF SECTION 128 OF THE NATIONAL INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AS AMENDED, BY REVISING THE EXCISE TAX RATES ON CERTAIN PETROLEUM PRODUCTS.
WHEREAS, the upward trend in the world prices of crude oil has made it necessary to adjust the prices of domestic petroleum products;
WHEREAS, in the adjustment of oil prices, it is likewise necessary to restructure the excise tax components thereof in order to cushion the impact of increased prices of petroleum products on the economy; and
WHEREAS, in restructuring the excise tax components of certain petroleum products, it becomes imperative to adopt the pure ad valorem tax scheme in order to provide for a built-in flexibility to price changes and obviate frequent revisions of tax rates as a result of fluctuations in crude oil prices.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, do hereby order that:
SECTION 1. Paragraph (b) of Section 128 of the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended, is hereby amended to read as follows:
SEC. 3. This Executive Order shall take effect immediately.
DONE in the City of Manila, this 17th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-seven.
