Philippines allows call centres to fully implement remote working while keeping tax perks


MANILA (Bloomberg): The Philippines has allowed outsourcing companies to fully implement remote work while keeping their tax perks, resolving a months-long issue in favour of the economically important industry.

Information technology and business process outsourcing firms, which include call centres, may enjoy incentives under a work-from-home (WFH) setup by shifting their registration from the Philippine Economic Zone Authority to the Board of Investments (BOI) according to separate statements from the Finance and Trade Ministries.
