How to Refund Travel Tax

Travel Tax is a levy imposed by the Philippine government on individuals leaving the country regardless of their destinations. You can read more about it by checking out the Presidential Decree (P.D) 1183 or check out Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) for more details.

Here's who are subjected to it
• Citizens of the Philippines
• Foreigners holding a permanent resident visa Sec. 13 Quota or Preference Immigrant Visa
• Foreign tourists or expatriates who have stayed in the Philippines for more than one (1) year

And here's a table of the tax imposed on travelers set out overseas.
