Philippine tax abolished in Manila free port reform
The Philippine Commission abolishes all tonnage and navigation dues in the Philippine Islands effective immediately. Previously a 6 cents per ton duty, with a 20 cent cap per vessel, was levied on ships from nonPhilippine ports. The act favors vessels from the United States and distant regions, reducing tolls for Manila Hongkong and Manila routes, while ports like Hong Kong and Singapore retain their own light dues. The reform aims to ease trade and improve Manila port facilities, saving substantial government revenue.
