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

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.
