Another solon, Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda, has called on the Senate to pass quickly a bill that would extend the estate tax amnesty deadline to two years, before Congress goes on a sine die adjournment. | GabrielLaluINQ
Salceda warned that, if the Senate would not act fast, there might not be enough time to tackle the bill as the 19th Congress’ first regular session would go on sine die adjournment by June 3.
The session is expected to resume on July 23, 2023 — in time for the 2nd State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Salceda said Marcos could also address this by certifying the similar bill that the House passed as urgent. This would allow the Senate to deliberate a similar measure in a single day, instead of waiting for three regular session days as mandated by the rules.
“If the Senate doesn’t do this over the next few days, the amnesty will expire while we are not in session. There will be a window of time, meanwhile, when people are uncertain about what to do next with their estates,” Salceda said. “ The majority, on both Houses, exists for a reason. We exist because the people want us to get things done fast. This is a yes-or-no question with a clear deadline, and with clear consequences if we miss the deadline,” he added.to start discussing the estate tax amnesty extension so that Congress could submit the bill to Marcos to sign before the Congress adjournment.— before Congress resumed its session. The House equivalent of the proposal is House Bill No. 7909.
