Magbibigay ang Department of Transportation (DOTr) ng 50% discount para sa lahat ng pasahero ng MRT-3 at LRT-2 simula sa Lunes, March 23.

Kasunod ito ng utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na pagaanin ang araw-araw na biyahe ng mga komyuter sa pamamagitan ng diskwento sa pamasahe. Lalong-lalo na sa gitna ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis na lubos na nagpapa-hirap sa mga mamamayan.

“Pagagaanin natin ang araw-araw na biyahe. Sa MRT at LRT ay magdidiskwento po tayo sa pamasahe. Gagawin natin ang lahat para manatiling maayos at tuloy-tuloy ang biyahe ng bawat Pilipino,” pahayag ng Pangulo nitong Miyerkules.

Sinabi naman ni Secretary Banoy Lopez na malaki ang maitutulong ng diskwento sa pamasahe sa tren para makatipid ang mga pasahero.

"Ginagawa ng pamahalaan ang lahat para maibsan ang paghihirap ng mga Pilipino sa gitna ng gulo sa Middle East. Prayoridad natin ang tuloy-tuloy na biyahe at mas murang pamasahe kaya magbibigay tayo ng 50% discount sa MRT-3 at LRT-2 para sa lahat," ayon kay Secretary Lopez.

Paliwanag pa ng transport chief, malaki ang matitipid ng mga bumabyahe kung sasakay ng tren na may discount sa pamasahe, sa halip na magdala sila ng sasakyan at kumonsumo ng napaka-mahal na langis.

Samantala, epektibo pa rin ang 50% discount para sa white beep cards ng mga senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWD), at mga estudyante.

Para sa mga regular na pasahero, magagamit din ang blue beep cards para sa automatic na 50% discount. Para naman sa mga walang beep cards, pwedeng bumili ng single journey tickets na naka-50% discount din.

Kasalukuyan namang nakikipag-usap ang DOTr sa LRT-1 management kaugnay ng pagbibigay ng parehong discounted na pamasahe sa kanilang train line. Ang LRT-1 ay pinatatakbo ng pribadong kumpanyang Light Rail Manila Corporation.

🔍 What Triggers an HMRC Enquiry?

Many people think HMRC enquiries are random – they’re not. HMRC uses data, comparisons and red flags to decide who to look at more closely.

Common triggers include unexplained changes in income, declaring expenses that are unusually high for your industry, submitting late or incorrect tax returns, frequent amendments to previously filed returns, large cash transactions, and inconsistencies between HMRC records and what you declare.

Self-employed individuals, landlords, directors, and anyone with multiple income streams are more likely to be checked, especially if figures don’t “add up” compared to similar taxpayers.

Keeping accurate records and submitting returns on time is the best way to stay off HMRC’s radar.

Self Assessment Season Is Here!
Pay the Right Tax — & Claim What You’re Owed

The Self Assessment deadline is 31 January 2026 — and whether you’re self-employed, a limited company director, or earning additional income (dividends, rental income, side projects), now’s the perfect time to get everything organised.

Starting early means:
✅ No last-minute stress
✅ No missing information
✅ And most importantly… claiming every expense you’re entitled to 💸

💸 Are You Claiming Everything You Can?

Many people miss out on legitimate tax deductions every year. Make sure you’re not one of them:

🔹💻 Working from home? Claim a proportion of electricity, rent, broadband, heating.
🔹🚗 Business travel? Mileage, parking, public transport — yes. Your commute — no.
🔹☕ Client meetings? Meals when travelling or meeting clients = claimable. Lunch at your desk = not.
🔹📱 Phone & Wi-Fi? Claim the business use percentage only.
🔹💼 Training? Must relate to your current work — not a brand new profession.

Whether you’re self-employed or running a limited company, the key is knowing what’s allowed.

📂 Record Keeping = Your Tax Superpower

Good records make tax returns faster, easier and far less stressful:

✅ Keep digital or scanned copies of receipts
✅ Add a quick note on each expense (e.g. “client coffee”, “Zoom subscription”)
✅ Track expenses regularly — don’t wait until January
✅ Keep records for at least 6 years

Remember: No receipt = no claim (except mileage or approved flat-rate allowances)

🧠 Need a Hand?

If you’re unsure what you can claim or what should be included in your return — don’t guess.

We can help with:
✔️ Filing your return
