BIR told: Consider needs of Makati residents
Local Philippines News In English

Makati Vice Mayor and mayoral candidate Ernesto Mercado has urged the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to consider the needs of Makati residents even as the revenue agency issued a seizure order on the city’s assets due to the city government’s alleged failure to pay P1.2 billion in taxes.

“I urge the BIR to be more flexible on this matter because city hall cannot just stop delivering services to the public or suspend salaries due to city hall employees,” Mercado said, a day after the BIR served a warrant on distraint and levy on city hall.
