Since the passage of Republic Act (RA) 10754, An Act Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of Persons With Disability (PWDs), it is only now that disabled members of society will be fully enjoying the benefits granted by this law.
Revenue Regulations No. 5-2017 were approved by the Secretary of Finance upon the recommendation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on April 20. The regulations prescribe the guidelines for the availment and implementation of the 20% discount and the additional exemption as dependents for personal income tax purposes.
