Income tax exemption? Is that the exit tax Filipinos pay when they leave then? My wife didn't have to pay it last time we left as she had lived overseas for more than a year. Still charged 200 pesos 'administration' costs for a tax she was not liable to pay though!!
Indonesians pay 1,000,000 Rupiah when they leave their country, which is about US$100.
You should check out the taxes and costs for leaving the UK as well, though they are usually buried in with the price of the ticket so people don't go ballistic.
I think it's the 'travel tax' that you're referring to here.
Used to be 1620 pesos, paid by the locals whenever they have the temerity to leave their own country.
Another way the gov. milks some cash out of them.
