00:00The Bureau of Internal Revenue reminded taxpayers to pay their taxes before the deadline.
00:06Meanwhile, Joshua Garcia in the center of the news added a target collection to their account.
00:17The Bureau of Internal Revenue is working hard to meet the target of their tax collection for 2024 and 2025.
00:25Meanwhile, the deadline for the annual income tax return was set for April 15.
00:30According to BIR Commissioner Atty. Romeo Lumagi Jr.,
00:34their campaign was a good result for paying their taxes
00:38if they were able to collect more in 2024 than in 2023.
00:43We are continuing our webinars to explain to our countrymen
00:49how to file and pay their taxes that we said they don't need to wait for April 15.
00:58Many have already filed and many have already paid.
01:03That's why it's a good thing that our collection ran well in the first months of this year.
01:09The agency is also continuing to work hard to make the process easier.
01:13Unlike before, now they don't have to go to offices to pay their taxes.
01:19Instead, they can do it online through their official website and accredited payment channels.
01:24If they can't do it online, they can go to their tax assistance centers and district offices
01:30to guide their people electronically.
01:32This is part of improving their collection through digital transformation and ease of paying taxes law.
01:39While maintaining the integrity and professionalism of their services and agency.
01:44For now, BIR wants to give them more than P3 trillion collection target
01:50to help the government to fund projects such as infrastructure,
01:55helping the people, and more.
01:58The target that we were given is P3.23 trillion for 2025.
02:06That's why we need to increase our collection.
02:11We hope that we will do our best so that we can always meet this target.
02:19BIR also reminded that aside from criminal cases,
02:22there is a 12% interest and 25% surcharge for those who cannot pay their taxes within the deadline.
