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.
