The Quezon City government has extended the deadline for payment of real property tax following the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila.
Payment of tax and tax amnesty in the city is extended until April 20 under Ordinance No. SP 3031 S-2021, the local government said on Tuesday (March 30).
Payment for delinquent real property taxes is also extended under Ordinance No. SP 3018 S-2021.
The local government made the move following the implementation of ECQ that restricted the movement of the city personnel. It said that it also "understands the burden and challenges caused by the continuing pandemic.
"This extension will hopefully ease up the impact of economic adversities on our constituents while enabling the collection of taxes," Mayor Joy Belmonte said in signing the measure.
