The Las Piñas City government has extended the deadline for business permit renewal to Jan. 31.
Las Piñas City Mayo Imelda Aguilar said the City Council, headed by Vice-Mayor April Aguilar, passed and approved a resolution on Jan. 20 extending the period for the payment of business permits, licenses, taxes and such other similar commercial and industrial fees and charges from Jan. 20 to 31without surcharges and penalties.
Aguilar said the chief of Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO), Jesus Wilfredo Gaerlan, requested for the extension of the deadline.
She said this will not only encourage the settlement of such business, commercial and industrial fees and charges and accelerate the collection but also enable the delinquent individuals and firms to legalize their business operation.
The mayor added the extension will naturally and ultimately redound to the benefit of the city because taxpayers will be able to comply with the mandatory obligation of providing revenues to the city government.
