CALASIAO – The regional office of the Bureau of Internal Revenue surpassed its 2018 collection by P1,611, 168, 997.55 as year 2019 ended.
In a data approved by Regional Director Thelma S. Milabao for this writer, it said that the regional office had collected P12, 469, 336, 932.55 in year 2018 while its 2019 collection computed to be P14, 080, 505, 930.10 or a spike of 12.92 percent versus the preceding year.
According to Regional Head of the Taxpayer Assistance Unit Chief Lee Caday, the regional office failed to hit the P14, 715,621,000.00 goal assigned by the national government because of a deficiency of P635, 115, 069.90 or negative 4.32 percent ion its collection.
“Masyadong malaki ang goal,” Caday cited about the daunting tasked given to them
He said that his office’s shortcoming is endemic to other regional offices of the BIR in the country.
“Kung sa school grading mataas na ang grade na ito 95. 06 percent iyon na ang grade namin,” he explained their laudable performance despite the deficiency of 4.32 percent on the goal.
He said it was way below the 7.5 percent attrition rate.
In the amended Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Republic Act 9335 or the Attrition Act of 2005, the law says that officials and employees whose revenue collection falls short of target by at least 7.5 percent would be dismissed from service, while those who exceed targets would be rewarded.
Among the six Revenue District Offices (RDOs) in Region-1 only BIR’s RDO-1 in Ilocos Norte exceeded its P1,785, 049, 000.00 goal by 1.88 percent.
The other RDOs in Ilocos Sur, La Union, Central Pangasinan, Western Pangasinan, and Eastern Pangasinan turned red.
