This increase in the selling price threshold, for VAT exemption purposes, of the sale of house and lot, and other residential dwelling from Php3,199,200.00 to Php3,600,000 gives testament to the BIR’s improved and updated services”, Commissioner Lumagui stated.

This subject revenue regulation also shows the government’s commitment to a just and service-oriented taxation in the Philippines.
