The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has confirmed the integration of International Passenger Service Charge (IPSC) into the airline ticket at the point of sale, effective 01 February 2015,

IPSC refers to the terminal fee imposed by MIAA on departing passengers, presently pegged at Php550.00 inclusive of 12% EVAT.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are among the locally-recognized exempted passengers and are, therefore, entitled to a refund of the terminal fee integrated into the cost of the tickets bought overseas or online.

MIAA advises exempted passengers claiming their refund to proceed to refund desks located after immigration counters on the departure date or MIAA Administration Building where they are required to present the following:

• Passenger Ticket! Itinerary Receipt/ Official Receipt/ Invoice clearly showing payment for terminal fee with the code "Ll (International)"

• Original copy of exemption certificate (i.e. Overseas Employment Certificate or MIAA Exemption Certificate)

• Boarding pass

For further reference, please read the full text of MIAA Memorandum Circular No. 08 Series of 2014, regarding the IPSC.
