MAMASAPANO, Maguindanao ---The local government of this town is 
expecting a hundred percent increase in tax collection this year compared to year 2019 following the increasing number of businesses as the treasury office winded up the renewal of business permits last January 20 under the Business One-Stop-Shop (BOSS) scheme.

        Municipal Treasurer Engr. Tokan M. Brahim said the processing of business permit renewal and payment of fees under the BOSS was held at the ground floor of the Municipal Hall Building where members of the business sector transact in one place as they interface with the agencies that process the requirements related to business licensing.

        Treasurer Brahim said the BOSS gather the business clients  in one place “for them to process their business licenses and permits easily” with the agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Bureau of Fire (BFP), Philippine National Police, and divisions or sections of the local treasury, among others.

He said there was an increase in the number of business permit processing even on the first day of the “Business One-Stop-Shop” scheme, an indication that more members of the business sector have come in and establish their businesses in the locality.

Engr. Brahim cited the town’s 2019 tax collection target from local sources,  such as Real Property Tax (RPT) at P439,550, community tax (P100,000), business tax (P150,000), and  other local taxes (P50,000).

 Non-tax revenues, he said, are:  permit fees (P75,000); registration fees (P50,000); clearance and certification fees (P75,000); inspection fees (P25,000); miscellaneous income (P50,000); fines and penalties from permits and licenses (P75,000); toll and terminal fees  (P50,000); registration plates, tags, and stickers fees (P75,000);  income from other services (P75,000); income from market (P50,000); other business income (P100,000); and fines and penalties from business income (P50,000).

He said the over-all local revenue collection last year amounted to P1,489,550.

Municipal Mayor Datu Akmad A. Ampatuan , Jr. expects a more aggressive tax collection or revenue increase for this year “due to our massive fiscal program campaign strategy” as well as investment promotion. (Anne B. Acosta)
