The local government unit (LGU) of the city of Muntinlupa has extended the payment deadline for taxes and other fees.
In a statement, the LGU said the Muntinlupa City Council adapted the Department of Finance’s Department Circular 002-2020 through City Ordinance 2020-095 for its uniform adoption and implementation by LGUs.
Section 4 of the circular mandates LGUs to move the due date for the settlement of all local taxes, fees and charges due March 25 this year to June 25.
The prolonged period for the payment of such obligations will cover the following: real property tax; business tax; franchise tax; tax on delivery trucks and vans; tax on sand, gravel and other quarry resources; and, fines and penalties on business tax.
Business taxes cover manufacturers, assemblers, wholesalers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, dealers, retailers, contractors and other independent contractors, banks and other independent contractors, peddlers, printing and publication tax, and tax on amusement places.
Other forms of taxes included are community tax (corporation/individual), professional tax, real property transfer tax, other taxes, and fines and penalties for other taxes.
No interest, surcharge or any form of penalty shall be applied on any local tax, fee or charge accruing on or due and demandable during the extension period.
Previous delinquencies shall be due and the accrual of interest, penalties and surcharges shall begin after the extension.
The relaxation in deadline of payment also adheres to Bureau of Local Government Finance Memorandum Circular 010-2020 reiterating the extension of deadlines pursuant to Section 4(z) of Republic Act 11469, the LGU’s statement said.
As of May 19, Muntinlupa City said it has 202 confirmed Covid-19 cases with 122 recoveries, 51 active cases, 29 reported deaths, 19 suspect cases and 191 probable cases.
