12% digital VAT raises Phl Netflix rates
May 07, 2025
|The Philippine Star
Filipinos would have to pay as much as P70 more to watch films, series and shows on streaming giant Netflix, following the application of a 12-percent value-added tax (VAT).
Based on the updated Netflix subscription prices, Filipinos have to pay P70 more for a premium bundle, as it now costs P619 per month, from P549 previously. Netflix's premium subscription is its most popular service, allowing four people to watch on the platform at the same time and promising the best sound quality and viewing resolution.
Apart from this, Netflix's standard subscription increased to P449 per month, from P399 before, while the basic bundle went up to P279, from P249. The cheapest Netflix service also costs P20 more now, at P169, and still limits viewing to one device.
