3. What are the advantages of TRAIN Law?

It makes it possible for a greater number of people to avoid paying taxes. This tax structure
benefitted a greater number of people, especially those who hold several jobs and have varying
sources of income. It is now much simpler to determine the amount of tax that has to be paid as
a result of the Train law's provision of uniform tax rates for the estate tax and the donor's tax.
The goals of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion TRAIN program are to encourage
investment, increase the number of available employments, and decrease the level of poverty in
the Philippines.
