VIRAC, Catanduanes- All it had to do was hasten the process of business permits and the buiness sector fully appreciated, as shown by the increase in tax collection. | |||
A significant increase in business taxes has been observed in seven towns here in Catanduanes following the implementation of the Business Permits and Licensing System (BPLS) Upscaling Reforms Program of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). | |||
The BPLS program is aimed at limiting the processing time of the local government unit to issue business permits and licenses to a maximum of 10 days from the date of submission of the application form as required by the Anti-Red Tape Law, using a unified form each for new applications and renewals and limiting the number of steps in processing applications for new applications and renewals. | |||
Among the towns that experienced higher taxes and fees paid by business establishments in their respective locale as stated in a report submitted by DTI and DILG, Caramoran town has the most number of increase with registrants increasing from six in January 2011 to 118 this 2012 wherein its tax collection from business registration boomed from P52,193.73 to P296,338.24 or nearly five times the figure for the previous year. | |||
Viga came in second with 92 registrants increasing by 171 percent in collection from P139,541.75 to P378, 670.32. The province's capital town is in 3rd with 127 percent increase from 14 to 754 registrants with an increased revenue from P3.9 million in 2011 to P8.9 million this January, 2012. | |||
Moreover, Pandan listed an increase of 73 percent in business taxes from P143, 052.76 to P247,545.48 with registrants rising from 100 to 182. Meanwhile, Bato town recorded 121 registrants from 84 with a tax collection growing from 29 percent to P774,079.18. | |||
San Miguel town still does not have data while San Andres registrants grew from 256 to 284 but its tax revenue fell from P1.06 million to P884,680.85 this year. | |||
According to William Aldea, Local Government Operation Officer, the significant increase in tax collection was due to the establishment of Business One-Stop Shop desks in the said towns which sped up the approval of permits and licenses in January, 2012. | |||
