Manila: Taxpayers will now have access to a digital calendar that will guide them on when to pay their taxes and the requirements they need to comply with, a Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) official said Thursday.
According to Philippines News Agency, BIR spokesperson and lawyer Brianna Kay delos Santos mentioned in a Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon interview that the interactive digital tax calendar has been available on the BIR website since January 1 this year. She explained that the digital calendar aims to provide the public with a centralized and accessible source of information on tax payment deadlines and related requirements.
Delos Santos added that the calendar is made interactive and user-friendly for the benefit of taxpayers. She stated, "To increase voluntary compliance, we made it easier for the taxpaying public." The BIR official also noted that there is a plan to embed the calendar into the eGovPH mobile app, but they want to make the public familiar with it first.
Furthermore, the calendar has a link that electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) users can use to pay their taxes. For non-eFPS users, she mentioned that they can only view what form to use and have to pay the dues through the eBIR portal for now.
