PH Travel Tax FAQs

@Mama Squeak, pwede po ba sa NAIA na ako mismo kumuha ng tavel tax exemption?

[mama squeak!]

^Yup, basta kumpleto documents mo. They have a PH Travel Tax counter just before the check-in counters.

[berrycherry]

how much po ba ang madidiscount namin and ano po kailangan kong daling documents? thanks...

[mama squeak!]

^sis, ano bang discount ang tinatanong mo? Pang bata or OFW? Yung dalawang category lang na yan ang pwede mabigyan ng discount. If you're a regular PH passenger, walang discount sa PH travel tax.

[berrycherry]

OFW po,, dependants po kame ng hubby ko.. worry lang po ako kasi its my first time to travel without my husband, only my 2 kids..

[mama squeak!]

^sis, are you proceeding to your husband's work site? If yes, to my knowledge you have to get a certification from OWWA first that you are dependents and will be proceeding to your husband's work site. Ganyan kasi ginagawa ng sis-in-law ko every time they are here for vacation in Manila then returning to the ME. Then yung certification na yun from OWWA ang papakita nila sa PH Travel Tax counter at the airport.

But if you are just going somewhere else purely for vacation, you are not entitled to an exemption or discount.

[berrycherry]

yes po.. babalik na po kame ulit.  Open po kaya yung travel tax counter everyday sa naia? baka kapag nandun na kame, close po sila.

I called the travel tax counter, and sinabi nila na kailangan ko daw ng OEC ng husband ko. Wala naman sakin yung oec ng husband ko, pano kaya ang gagawin ko?

tell your husband to scan his OEC then email it to you. that's what I did kasi. just dont forget to bring your marriage certificate kasi hahanapin din yan sayo. otherwise, wala kang % kahit na may copy ka ng OEC

hi sis.. talaga pwede ipa scan yung OEC. solve na problem ko. may expiration ba ang OEC, nung May pa kasi nya kunuha yun.

[berrycherry]

sis, pina authenticate pa ba nila yung OEC mo? tumawag kasi ulit ako, pwede nga daw na ipa scan but ipapa authenticate pa nga daw sa poea. mabilis lang kaya ang processing? thanks.

[shineshinegray]

^nope. di naman pina - authenticate. basta pinakita ko lang yung copy ng OEC and yung copy ng SPass ni hubby and marriage cert then ok na. di na siguro ako tinanong kasi yun narin yung day ng departure namin plus may kasama pa kong super kulit na toddler

[vbhyaknoj]

paano po kapag hindi kasal ang OFW parents ng bata? pwede pa di siya maging dependent? yong ttrc ba is for children of ofw's lang or kahit na sinong bata entitled to ttrc?

[berrycherry]

question ko din po, yung anak na lang po ba ang pwede makakuha ng ttrc?

question:

if nakabyahe na tayo out of the country within a time frame of 6 months and we will go out again, magbabayad pa din travel tax?

[mama squeak!]

^sis, per trip ang bayad ng PH Travel tax.

[chefron]

ah ok 

does it go sa BIR or DOT?

[mama squeak!]

^I wanted to answer differently       pero sa DOT ang bayad ng Travel Tax

[chefron]

hehe madami din pala nakukuha ang government sa mga byahero kaya impossible na di nila maupgrade ang airport.
