BIR to cite outstanding Capiceño taxpayers
Roxas City -- The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 72 will again recognize the province taxpayers and outstanding performers during its local observance of the bureau's 103rd anniversary in August this year.
BIR RDO No. 72 Public Information Officer and Taxpayers Service Section Chief Ma. Gracia DC Balgos said the recognition is an appreciation of the taxpayers patriotic obligation of paying taxes to the government.
The awards category are classified into Top Individual Income and VAT Taxpayer, Top Corporate Income Taxpayer, Top Corporate VAT Taxpayer, Top Percentage Taxpayer, and Top Withholding Taxpayer.
Last year, RDO's collection agents and an examiner were also cited for their their outstanding performance for the period July 2005 to 2006.
The BIR commemorates every Aug. 1 its formal organization and operationalization as the country's tax collection agency after the American's establishment of a civil government in the country.
The BIR along with the Bureau of Customs has improved its efficiency in revenue collection in view of the government's continuing resolve to meet its collection targets and, eventually, meet its target of a balanced budget and overcome the budget deficit by the end of 2008.
