MANILA, Philippines — Finance Secretary Ralph Recto said the government has neither discussed nor considered granting exemptions for United States technology firms from the Philippines’ newly implemented digital services tax, despite threats of retaliatory tariffs from President Donald Trump.

Trump recently warned that countries imposing digital taxes on US technology firms would face “substantial additional tariffs” on exports to the US, along with possible export restrictions on “highly protected technology and chips.”
The Philippines began enforcing its digital tax law in June, which subjects nonresident digital service providers such as Netflix, Amazon, and Google to the country’s 12-percent value-added tax (VAT).
