GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Feb. 6 (PNA) -– The provincial government of South Cotabato is pushing for the signing of a settlement agreement worth P68.2 million for the unpaid real property taxes of local power distribution utility South Cotabato I Electric Cooperative (Socoteco I). | |||
South Cotabato Gov. Arthur Pingoy Jr. said the local government has formally notified the power cooperative that it would collect within this year its unpaid taxes that accumulated since 1998. | |||
He said the unpaid tax dues covered the basic and special education fund payments amounting to P41.2 million and penalties reaching a total of P27 million. | |||
Socoteco I submitted a proposal to the provincial government late last year, seeking for the forging of a compromise deal that would save the cooperative from paying the accumulated penalties. | |||
It signified to make a one-time payment of P41,271,295.48 to the provincial government as settlement for its tax dues. | |||
Pingoy immediately submitted the proposed compromise deal to the Provincial Legal Office and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for further studies and the issuance of appropriate endorsements. | |||
But board member Ervin Luntao, chair of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan’s ways and means committee, said they deferred the issuance of an authority for the provincial governor to sign the compromise deal on behalf of the local government. | |||
Section 178 of the province’s Revenue Code of 2005 provides a legal basis for both Socoteco I and the provincial government to enter into a compromised deal but section 276 of the Local Government Code that sets the condonation or reduction of real property taxes and interests does not apply to the cooperative’s proposal. | |||
“The proposal will be beneficial to us since it will generate additional funds to the provincial government. But we can’t act on it because it has no legal basis,” Luntao said. | |||
The official said they are banking on the payment of Socoteco’s tax dues to ease the impact of the reduction by P36 million this year of the provincial government’s internal revenue share from the national government. | |||
