2010 BIR Monitor

In line with the BIR’s thrust to improve the quality, efficiency and accuracy of its tax audit, a computer audit work station called CAATTS Laboratory was inaugurated last December 22 at the Bureau’s National Office.

The BIR’s October collection performance marks the second month in a row that the Bureau was able to exceed its monthly revenue target under Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares’ stewardship.

The BIR hosted the 8th SGATAR Joint Training Program which was held from October 27 to 29 at the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel. 

Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares recommended the issuance of Revenue Regulations No. 9-2010 last September 13, which gives delinquent taxpayers a chance to voluntarily file/rectify their tax returns and pay the deficiency taxes due without the imposition of surcharges and/or compromise penalties.

The BIR celebrated its 106th founding anniversary last August 2 with President Benigno S. Aquino III as the distinguished Keynote Speaker. 

Last July 2, newly-appointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Kim S. Jacinto-Henares was formally installed into office through the ceremonial turnover to her of the symbolic key and BIR flag from outgoing Commissioner Joel L. Tan-Torres. 

For five months in a row, the BIR has consistently surpassed its previous year’s collections and exceeded its monthly collection targets from December 2009 until April 2010. 

The BIR managed to surpass its previous year's tax collections and exceed its monthly collection targets from December 2009 until March 2010. 

For three consecutive months, the BIR managed to surpass its previous year's collections and even exceed its collection targets.

The BIR is off to a good start in 2010 with its January revenue collections exceeding the target for the month by more than 13%.

The BIR ended the year 2009 with a bang as it registered a collection surplus of more than P 8 Billion for the month of December 2009.
