Key Advantage: The CREATE Act lowers the standard rate to 25% (and 20% for small businesses). Registered enterprises in economic zones (e.g., PEZA/BOI) benefit from further superior incentives, such as Income Tax Holidays (ITH) followed by a reduced tax on gross income (e.g., 5% Gross Income Tax).

The entire legal and business process—including contracts, government filings, and court proceedings—is conducted in English. For commercial contracts, English is the binding and controlling language with authority in law, minimizing interpretation risk, all while maintaining cost competitiveness in ASEAN & worldwide.

As a constitutional democracy, the Philippines ensures a stable, predictable legal framework and institutional protection against arbitrary policy changes. You're assets won't disappear, you're fundamental rights are constitutional. 

The Philippines maintains one of the world’s most protective financial confidentiality frameworks under the Republic Act No. 1405 (Bank Secrecy Law).  

This law provides strict, non-negotiable confidentiality protection for all peso-denominated deposits, offering a crucial layer of asset privacy and protection for high-net-worth individuals and corporate entities that exceeds standards in many developed nations 

The Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA) is a modern, comprehensive law aligned with global standards like the GDPR. 

This robust regulation ensures that businesses handling sensitive and personal data are mandated to maintain high-security and accountability protocols, mitigating regulatory risk and creating a secure operating environment, particularly vital for the massive BPO and financial services sectors. 

The Philippines boasts a young, highly educated, English-proficient workforce (Asia's highest), supporting the second-largest population in ASEAN (over 110 million). 

Thus, the retail market is valued at an estimated USD 41.23 billion (2025), is forecasted to grow at a 7.8% CAGR through 2030, and contributes approximately 20% to the national GDP
