Malacañang said the Department of Finance’s proposal to increase the motor vehicle user charge (MVUC) remains under review, with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. yet to make a final decision.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the proposal is part of efforts to strengthen the excise tax system and boost government revenues.
She said officials are studying its possible impact on motorists and the government.
Castro stressed the need to balance additional revenue with the financial burden on motorists.
The MVUC is a mandatory fee collected by the Land Transportation Office to fund road maintenance and air pollution control programs, with current rates ranging from P120 to more than P4,000.
