REVENUE REGULATIONS NO. 15-2008 issued on December 10, 2008
prescribes the manner of computing the incremental revenue to be used as basis
of the fifteen percent (15%) share of the beneficiary provinces producing burley
and native tobacco in the Excise Tax collection from tobacco products under
Section 8 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 8240.
The amount of incremental revenue collected from the Excise Tax on
tobacco products, for purposes of determining the 15% allocable share of
beneficiary provinces producing burley and native tobacco, shall be equivalent to
the excess of the actual collection of Excise Taxes from tobacco products for the
year under consideration over the calendar year 1996 as the base year, net of
the incremental revenue collected from the increase in Excise Tax rates under
R.A. No. 9334.
