BIR ASSISTANCE

Bureau of Internal Revenue Regional District Office Number 19 of Subic Bay Freeport and Olongapo City conducted the whole day today a massive information campaign for taxpayers to settle their obligations promptly and correctly as this would help in building a Strong Republic. Deadline for filing taxes is April 15, 2005.


Shown in pictures are Boy Scouts from James L. Gordon Council assisting in the information drive, persuading businesses to file their income tax return early to avoid the rush and penalties. The Scouts were given the task to post stickers especially on establishments' cash registers to remind both the business establishment and the consuming public the importance of issuing and demanding receipts for purchases made. More than one hundred scouts from different districts of Olongapo City participated in the endeavor.
