Filipino Crews banned from Cargo Ships?

Europe Could Ban Filipino Crews From Cargo Ships.

European regulators claim that Philippine maritime education doesn’t meet international standards, and is considering banning any ships, that are registered in European Union countries, from using sailors from the Philippines in their crews.

If the European Commission confirms this action, the European Union will no longer recognise any competency certifications issued in the Philippines.

Without a valid competency certificate, the sailor would not be able to work on any EU ships.

With a quarter (1 in 4) of all merchant vessel crew members around the world being from the Philippines, it could mean that hundreds of thousands of sailors could lose their jobs.

The Philippines currently receives about $6 billion per year, in overseas remittance income, from Filipinos that work on vessels registered in countries around the world.  This income is therefore at risk in the future.

It is therefore important that the Philippine government makes immediate plans to upgrade their educational facilities, in this respect, to align with international standards.

How much Tax is deducted from a Philippine salary?

Using an online tax calculator, I checked some of the above figures, and got these results:

(1) 57,452 Monthly Salary = 13,777 in Tax ( 24.0%)
(2) 38,905 Monthly Salary = 8,003 in Tax ( 20.6%)
(3) 16,422 Monthly Salary = 1,816 in Tax ( 11.1%)
(4) 78,360 Monthly Salary = 20,467 in Tax ( 26.1%)

The above are based on Single without Dependents.

The Salary of 78,360 monthly would be taxed at 17,800 for married with 4 dependents ( 22.7%)
The Salary of 16,422 monthly would be taxed at 290 for married with 4 dependents ( 1.8%)
