PAGADIAN
CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Feb. 22 (PNA) -– The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
through Revenue District Office No. 92 has registered in 2015 a 10.89 percent
increase in collection of taxes representing PHP56,777,761.
Myrna
Maslamama, Assista nt RDO-92 officer-in-charge, told the Philippines News
Agency on Monday they have collected a total of PHP857,419,612.74 in 2015 which
is higher by PHP56,777,761.57 compared to the PHP800,641,851.17 collection in
2014.
Maslamama
said they registered an increase in taxes collection in 2015 despite they
failed to meet the PHP1,061,258,000 target collection representing a decline of
19.59 percent.
For
this year, Maslamama said they were tasked to collect almost PHP1.3 billion,
which is 44 percent higher than last year’s target collection goal.
However,
she is confident they will be able to meet this year’s target collection goal
with the new approach they adopted under the leadership of Aminoding
Macarampat, the new RDO-92 chief.
She
said part of the new approach is the conduct of series of seminars and
trainings to educate the taxpayers from the city and municipal level down to
the barangays.
She
said they included in the tax education drive the barangay officials,
bookkeepers, tax agents, medical practitioners, professionals and business
establishments.
“RDO
Macarampat believes that a well-informed taxpayer is a compliant taxpayer,” she
added.
She
said they have noted in the course of conducting the seminars that several
taxpayers are not aware of their withholding tax liabilities.
She
said there are store owners who do not have the knowledge that they have to
register with the BIR aside from securing business permits from the local
government units.
She
said they are also conducting tax mapping in the different towns to include the
inspection of cash registered machines and the use of official receipts.
Maslamama
urged the taxpayers to comply their obligation in filing the income tax return
on April 15.
