Revenue Region 12, of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, in Bacolod City has recorded P731,357,387.02 for last month’s tax collection, which is 6.40 percent higher than its collection goal, a BIR collection report showed yesterday.

BIR regional director Perfecto Aranas, said the increase of P43,986,387.02 is the result of the public awareness campaign of the agency, tax campaigns, seminars, and dialogs with the tax payers on their obligations and responsibilities.

Aranas also encouraged all taxpayers to voluntarily and correctly declare their taxable income.
