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.
BIR spokesperson and lawyer Brianna Kay delos Santos said in a Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon interview that the interactive digital tax calendar has been available on the BIR website since Jan. 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.
She added that the calendar is made interactive and user-friendly for the benefit of taxpayers.
“To increase voluntary compliance, we made it easier for the taxpaying public,” delos Santos said.
The BIR official said there is a plan to embed the calendar into the eGovPH mobile app, but they want to make the public familiar with it first.
She also said the calendar has a link that electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) users can use to pay their taxes.
Non-eFPS users, she said, can only view what form to use and has to pay the dues through the eBIR portal for now. (PNA)
