On April 23, the DOF issued Department Circular (DC) No. 002-2020 that extended the deadlines for the payment of taxes, fees, and charges of local government units (LGUs) in line with Republic Act (RA) No. 11469, or the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.
Sec. 4 of circular mandated that “the deadlines for the payment of all local taxes, fees, and charges duly authorized and imposed by LGUs within their respective territorial jurisdictions as of 25 March 2020 shall be extended until 25 June 2020.”
To follow the DOF order, the Muntinlupa City Council passed Ordinance 2020-095 for the uniform adoption and implementation on the extension of deadlines for the payment of local taxes, fees, and charges imposed by local government units.
The DOF circular also stated that “in the event that an LGU had already extended the deadlines prior to the effectivity of RA 11469, such deadlines shall be deemed modified with the period set forth herein,” which is June 25.
Finance Sec. Carlos Dominguez III said the circular was issued “for the uniform adoption and implementation by all LGUs on the extension of deadlines for the payment of local taxes, fees, and charges and providing relevant guidelines for the purpose.”
According to the city government, the ordinance covers the payment of taxes on business and other taxes without penalties or surcharges. These are 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 taxes included are the community tax (corporation and individual), professional tax, real property transfer tax, and fines and penalties for other taxes.
Under the ordinance, 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 period.
Previous tax delinquencies shall be due and the accrual of interest, penalties, and surcharges shall begin after the deadline.
As of May 19, there are 202 confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in Muntinlupa including 122 patients who have recovered and 29 deaths, leaving 51 active cases.
