Chairman and CEO of the Asian Consulting Group Mon Abrea, who serves as tax expert of the Senate Blue Ribbon and Co-chair of the Ease of Doing Business on Paying Taxes task force, will be giving investment and tax briefings in the US while the Congress is not in session.
As the most prominent tax advocate and expert pushing for tax reform, Mon Abrea has contributed significantly in the ongoing investigation in the Senate Blue Ribbon in aid of legislation. So far, he has made recommendations to require Tax Identification Number (TIN) in all business transactions, opening of bank accounts and incorporating companies.
The Senate of the Philippines recognized and commended his expertise and courage to serve as tax expert resource person of the Blue Ribbon led by Senator Richard Gordon. The official facebook page of Senator Gordon even posted his gratitude and commendation to Mon Abrea.
The Philippine Tax Whiz, as he’s popularly known, has been invited to the Senate and House of Representatives during deliberations of proposed tax reform bills. He is also a familiar face on TV and social media sharing his tax expertise and advocacy.
Since his appointment as Co-Chair of Ease of Doing Business, he has been invited to give investment and tax briefings abroad. In fact, during the lockdown, he has joined a number of webinars organized by Philippine Embassies and Philippine Trade and Investment Centers (PTIC) in the US, Canada, US, Asia, Middle East and Africa.
The International Roadshow was launched in 2018 in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as part of the Trabaho, Negosyo at Kabuhayan (TNK) Program. It aims to guide overseas Filipinos in investing and doing business in the Philippines.
After almost two years doing online webinars, Mon Abrea will again travel abroad to brief our Filipinos and foreign investors on their investment opportunities and how they can manage their taxes. The US Roadshow will visit New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Honolulu and Boston from December 2021 to January 2022.
The Investment and Tax Briefing covers relevant updates on the new Corporation Code, tax incentives under CREATE Law, ease of doing businesses and digitalization of government services including tax reform updates and other pending bills.
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez will personally welcome Mon Abrea to the US and give his special message together with Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez, Officials of Philippine Embassy and Consulate General, Trade Commissioners Kenneth Yap, Benedict Uy, Eric Elnar and Celynne Layug who also organized the said briefings.
