Share TweetBy Analou De VeraThe Department of Health (DOH) on Saturday said that they will first study all possible considerations with regards to its plan proposal to impose an additional tax on salty products. Meanwhile, the health chief believed that additional tax should not be imposed on “daing, tuyo, and bagoong.”“Para sa akin [For me], I don’t agree that we should tax daing, tuyo, bagoong…” he said. Duque said that the proposal to impose tax on salty products was “very tricky” unlike the sugar-sweetened beverages tax measure. Recently, Duque expressed that it might be a good idea to slap additional tax on salty products in a bid to curb non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the country.
