LIVE RECORDING: Cielo Magno on how our taxes were designed, where they go, and what we can do about it
About this episode
Cielo Magno discusses the design and allocation of taxes and offers solutions for better fiscal management.
We pay all sorts of taxes, and at the end of the day, we don't even feel them working for us. The data says it's not just our imagination. Our fiscal space is tight, collection is designed to favor a few, and they're allocated in a way that there's barely room to fund development. In the first live Speak Easy event, presented by Philstar Life and PumaPodcast, and hosted by The Opal Bar in Poblacion, Makati, economist and former Finance undersecretary Cielo Magno explains this bundle of taxes, and offers solutions that we can all rally around together. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
