BANGUED, Abra (PIA) — The Revenue District Office (RDO) 007 Bangued reminds all Abrenian tax payers to file their 2022 Annual Income Tax Returns (AITR) on or before April 17, 2023 to avoid penalty and other surcharges.
This is in support to the 2023 BIR national tax campaign with the theme, “Tulong-tulong sa Pagbangon, Kapit Kamay sa Pag-ahon, Buwis na Wasto, Alay Para sa Pilipino”.
Bangued Revenue District Officer Dominga B. Bango urged the tax payers to pay earlier to avoid the rush during deadlines. She informed that Revenue Collection Officers are stationed at the municipal halls of each town across the province to assist the Abrenians in paying their taxes.
Bangao shared that for the year 2022, there were 11,642 active business registrants in Abra, a 22.59 percent increase compared to the 9,497 recorded in 2021.
“Our regular target for this registration is at least 3%, so we have surpassed the target through tax mapping and active campaign,” she explained.
The RDO also surpassed its collection target of P601.1 million last year with a total tax collection of P749.4M or by 24.53%.
The total collection target for 2021 was surpassed also by 43.65%, she added. She attributed the increase to strengthened tax payers’ awareness program.
“We held tax briefings through virtual and face to face, radio announcements, social media disseminations and distribution of fliers through this tax payer’s awareness program,” Bangao added.
The RDO is also continuously coordinating with local government units on the digitalization of transactions especially on the business licensing for faster releasing of permits. (JDP/CAGT – PIA CAR, Abra)
