A senior citizen party-list group in Congress has called on online shopping sites to make the availment of senior and PWDs discount be user-friendly and obvious on their online portals and apps.
The BIR also stated that the signature of the SC/PWD is not required if the qualified purchase was made online or through mobile applications. However, the SC/PWD identification card number should still be provided.
Under the 5% discount, which is distinct from the 20% regular discount, allows senior citizens and PWDs to have a maximum purchase amount of P1,300 a week for both online and offline transactions, without carryover of the unused amount.
