PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, March 23 (PNA) -- The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has set a target collection goal of PHP1.060 billion for this year in this province.

Casan Azis, head of the Revenue District Office No. 92, said Monday that this year’s target collection goal represents 16 percent of the targeted collection of PHP6.57 billion for the entire region.

Azis also said the target collection goal for this year is higher than last year’s PHP895 million set by the BIR regional office.

Azis said he is optimistic they can meet the target collection goal of this year with the full support of the concerned stakeholders although they fell short by 10.5 percent in the collection of taxes last year.

He disclosed that last year they were able to collect PHP801 million which was lower by PHP94 million or 10.5 percent than the target collection goal of PHP895.

Meanwhile, BIR Regional Director Alert Alocilja has appealed to the taxpaying public for their sense of patriotic duty in paying the right amount of their taxes.

Alocilja said the government needs the support of the taxpaying public for the country to prosper. (PNA)
