+ January 25, 2021 DIGITALIZATION efforts as well as an intensified campaign against delinquent taxpayers and tax dodgers have enabled the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to collect P1.94 trillion, surpassing its revised target for 2020.
Of the total, P1.67 trillion or 86 percent were collected through electronic payment channels.
Of the P1.67 trillion collected through e-channels last year, P4.98 billion were from the additional digital system PayMaya.
BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay said the P1.94 trillion collected by the BIR in 2020 was about 11.23 percent less than the actual collection of P2.19 trillion in 2019 based on preliminary data as of Jan. 8, 2021.
But it was 15.14 percent over the revised 2020 goal of P1.68 trillion, Dulay said.
