Sa madaling salita, yung mga naunang Batas para Senior Citizen ay walang probisyon para sa eVAT, kaya nga kinailangan ng bagong Republic Act. So parang pantanggal nga ito ng eVAT.
Pero bukod pala sa 20% discount sa pamasahe, gamot, pagkain sa restaurant at kung anu-ano pa, meron pang mga additional benefits at incentives:
- Libren baksinasyon (Free vaccination) laban sa influenza at pneumococcal disease para sa mga indigent senior citizens;
- Benefit assistance to the nearest kin of a deceased indigent senior citizen worth P2,000.
- Five percent (5%) discount on water and electric bills registered in the name of the senior citizen, provided that consumption is below 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity and 30 cubic meters of water a month;
- Additional government assistance, i.e., social pension/monthly stipend of P500, mandatory Philhealth coverage, and social safety assistance (food, medicines and financial assistance).
Eto po pala ang kumpletong Republic Act 9994:
