Angara said that the government must consider the effect of the proposed tax reforms on various industries as well as their effects on the job creation program of the government. “We have to consider the effects on the little people, the regular people – the people who don’t pay their income tax at present but pay consumption taxes and will be affected very much by the new proposals,” he said.
