TAGBILARAN, December 28 (PIA)–Mahimo na karong tigoman sa mga Pinoy ang ilang retirement pinaagi sa pagpamuhunan sa Perso¬nal Equity Retirement Account (PERA), ang labing unang voluntary retirement account nga adunay tax incentives sa nasod.
Ang PERA gilusad ning bag-o lang sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), walo ka tuig human nahimong balaod ang Republic Act 9505 o ang PERA Act of 2008.
Base sa datos, daghang mga Pinoy ang dili tig-tigom o tig-invest mao nga kining balaod sa PERA ang maghatag og insentibo sa mga Pinoy sa pagpamuhunan alang sa ilang retirement.
Tinguha sa PERA nga palambuon ang savings mobilization ug capital market development aron makatabang na usab sa fiscal sustainability sa nasod.
Matud pa sa gipahigayong pagtuon sa BSP, nikabat lang sa 10.8% sa mga Pinoy ang nagtigom alang sa ilang pagretiro.
Bukas kini sa tanang nag-trabahong Pilipino — sa gobyerno, pribadong sektor, self-employed ug professio¬nals ug bisan ang mga overseas Filipino workers.
Ang bisan kinsang mag-invest og P100,000, kuwa¬lipikado sa P5,000 income tax credit nga i-deduct sa gibayarang income tax matag tuig. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)
