[Title] => New excise tax won’t bring down prices of Toyota cars
[Summary] => Prices of Toyota’s passenger cars may not drop significantly even with the implementation of a new value-based excise tax.
Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. senior vice president Serafin Pantaleon said that Toyota is still studying its passenger car price structure due to the recent depreciation of the peso against the dollar.
The new excise tax system, which was signed into law last week by President Arroyo, effectively lowers the tax on passenger cars and removes the tax-exempt status of Asian utility vehicles (AUVs).

[Title] => Car makers want BIR revenue regulation junked
[Summary] => Local car manufacturers have urged the Department of Finance and the Bureau of Internal Revenue to put aside BIR Revenue Regulation 4-2003 as the new excise tax bill has been signed into law by President Arroyo.
According to Serafin Pantaleon, senior vice president of Toyota Motors Philippines, the DOF should issue a clarification about the status of RR-4-2003 now that the new excise tax scheme is set to take effect.
Pantaleon said implementing the RR would only confuse the industry. Instead, government should just shift directly to the new excise tax system.

[Title] => Selective motor import lib to kill auto industry — CAMPI
[Summary] => In five years or less, the Philippine automobile industry may die out if the government adopts a selective liberalization of motor vehicle imports.
According to members of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI), a further lowering of the gross vehicle weight (GVW) limit for the liberalized entry of light trucks to 2.5 tons would affect 30 percent of the commercial vehicle market.

[Title] => In the driver’s seat
[Summary] => Outside Baguio’s main market are the ubiquitous Tamaraw FX. They carry housewives and tourists to and from the market. They haul goods. And most of them are fake. Toyota Motor Phils. Corp. does not have a distributor that far up north.
The number of vehicles produced by backyard operators using chop-chop and second-hand parts is huge. In 1999, the Land Transportation Office registered 153,000 vehicles nationwide. In that same year, members of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Phils. Inc. assembled about half or 74,288 of the LTO total.
