Increasing Tax Collection
Binangonan, Rizal
1995 - Trailblazing
Local Financial Management
 

      Nasa Buwis Mo ang Ating Progreso is a tax collection program of Binangonan, Rizal.

      The personalized, innovative, and gently coercive approach resulted in a dramatic increase in revenue collection from P14 million in 1991 to P47 million in 1994. It promoted tax consciousness, sought public support and participation in revenue collection, and persuaded evasive and delinquent taxpayers to give their rightful share in community building. It did not involve enactment of new or increased tax rates.

      Evident improvement in basic services and participation in community development were the benefits taxpayers enjoyed. Significant funds were allocated to help in the hospitalization expenses of indigent patients and to serve depressed communities.
