CALASIAO, Pangasinan - The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) based in central Pangasinan exhorts taxpayers to pay their annual income tax return (ITR) until the deadline in April 18 this year.

Failure to pay the ITR, the BIR will mete the delinquent taxpayer with three penalties as based on the Internal Revenue Code. A one-time surcharge of either 25% or 50% of the basic tax, 20%/12% annual interest, and a onetime compromise penalty.

To bolster the tax target for this year, the personnel of the Revenue District Office No. 4 continue their tax campaign to get the attention of the taxpayers.

“Iikot po uli kami caravan po uli kami to continue on tax campaign for this year. We will continue on campaigning para sa ating mahal na taxpayers to file their annual income tax on or before April 18, 2020,” Assistant RDO-4 Chief Susan Cabanayan told GMA-7 Regional TV.

RDO-4 is under the watch of RDO-Chief Gil Vinluan.

It covers the cities of San Carlos and Dagupan and towns like Alcala, Basista, Bautista, Bayambang, Calasiao, Laoac, Malasiqui, Manaoag, Mangaldan, Mapandan, San Fabian, San Jacinto, Santa Barbara, and Urbiztondo in central Pangasinan.

RDO No. 4 had collected its P4.038 billion target last year.  

With the customary 17% hike on the preceding year’s total collection, it is estimated that the RDO-Chief and his personnel here will have to collect P4.68 billion for year 2022.
