A proposed law which is now waiting for the president’s approval is expected to bring some stability to the country’s office market, which has been significantly hit by the pandemic and the ban on online gaming operations.

In a commentary, property management firm Colliers said that the Create More Act (Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy) will bring benefits to the industry.

“(T)he clarity provided under Create More on key issues such as VAT (value-added tax) exemption, zero-rating, and work-from-home arrangements offers investors greater regulatory stability and transparency, which are crucial in making the country a viable destination to set up business,” the firm said.

Colliers added that the provision for 50-percent work-from-home arrangement under the proposed law will affect the office market, mentioning in particular the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM).

This number is a far cry from the single to low double-digits recorded pre-pandemic.
