The Commission on Elections says it will request the state auditors to release the transportation allowance of teachers who will assist in the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections set for October, this year.
The Commission on Elections on Friday said it will request the state auditors to release the transportation allowance of teachers who will assist in the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections set for October, this year.
[Translation: We will continue to coordinate with the Commission on Audit that at least the transportation part allowance in the actual honoraria be given to the teachers.] Honoraria is a voluntary payment that is given to a person for services for which fees are not legally or traditionally required.Meanwhile, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers on Friday said the increase will remain “inadequate” due to a 20% tax deduction. The teachers' group has demanded that the ₱8,000 to ₱10,000 honoraria for poll workers be given in full, net of taxes.
On July 2022, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. vetoed two measures seeking tax exemption on poll workers because it “runs counter” to the government’s tax program.Marcos vetoes more bills: Tax exemption on poll honoraria, creation of transportation safety board
