The priority measures passed are the Estate Tax Amnesty Act , Trabaho Para sa Bayan Act , and the Regional Specialty Centers Act .
The bill extends the period of availment of estate tax amnesty by two years, until June 14, 2025. This is the second extension of the amnesty, which was first extended from 2021 to 2023. The counterpart measure at the House expands the amnesty coverage for the estates of individuals who died until December 31, 2021. The Senate version extends the coverage until May 31, 2022.
“This bill is a shot in the arm of our public health system.
