Bureau of Internal Revenue Cagayan de Oro Jump-Start 2017 Tax Drive

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue Region (RR) No.16 – Cagayan de Oro City officially launched its 2017 tax campaign amid conflicting schedules, unavoidable no-shows, and confusion. Bucking the absence of invited dignitaries, the region’s kickoff organizers proceeded with the event in a simple fashion. Cagayan de Oro is a first-class, highly-urbanized city where governance is independent and separate from Misamis Oriental. Gov. Yevgeny Emano expressed all-out support to the BIR’s tax drive and to its quest to be exempted from the coverage of the Salary Standardization Law (SSL).

Regional Director Hermeno Palamine presented the region’s plans and accomplishments for 2016 and paid tribute to the unwavering efforts of the men and women of RR No. 16 – Cagayan de Oro City. He paid tribute to top taxpayers in the six revenue district offices under his jurisdiction who were present during the kickoff. Last year, the region exceeded its revenue with P12.47 billion from P10.75 billion in 2015. Palamine said estimated collection target for 2017 is P12.8 billion.

  • To BIR Cagayan de Oro City

    I have a comment to BIR CDO regarding the Bulua Cockfit owned by Bernales Family operation for almost 5 years without giving or issuing ticket to every individual entering the cockpit. No registered tickets by the BIR cdo, the entrance fee is as follows: Ringside: P100 and in Bleacher P4o without issuing tickets to determine the taxes for the people. This form is classified as tax evasion.

    Before the manangement of this cockfit issuing manmade ticket , given to the individual entering the cockfit and return it back to the management for re-issue to another individual.. Other cockfit in cdo are issuing ticket registered by BIR.

    Hoping for your immediate action for this kind of tax evasion. Thank you
