MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, May 17 (PIA) -- A total of P94.51 million was collected by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) District 102 in the first quarter of 2012, surpassing its collection target of P81.58 million for the quarter.
This figure is also 37 percent higher compared to the P69.03 million it collected during the same period of last year, said Revenue District Officer Aminoden Macarampat.
Collections from income taxes contributed the largest share to the total collections posting P71.36 million, up by 38 percent or P19.81 million from the collection in the same quarter of 2011.
This was followed by value-added taxes at P19.79 million which exceeded the P15.76 million collection last year by P4.03 million or 26 percent.
Revenue from other taxes also went-up by 88 percent, from P1.59million to P2.98 million while percentage taxes climbed to P379,500, exceeding the P132,000 collection last year by 186 percent.
Macarampat said the success in its collection performance was attributable to the intensified information tax campaign they have conducted.
"Aside from carrying-out tax mapping of business establishments, we also conducted door-to-door information campaign and explained the benefits of paying taxes," he said.
He added that close coordination with the Landbank and Philippine National Bank in the area, and with local government units, from the provincial to barangay level, also contributed to their positive performance.
