CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - The provincial government is targeting at least P1B collection for real property taxes (RPT) following the intensified implementation of
Integrated Taxation Management System (iTax) in Pampanga.
Engr. Romeo Dizon, provincial assessor disclosed that for last year the collection on RPT has already reached some P500-M and could still be improved with the continuing effort by the local officials to automate transactions on real properties.
He said that the target can only be achieved upon full implementation of iTax system in all municipalities in the province.
Dizon noted that the itax system is favorable to the local government units as it would promote transparency, efficiency and effectiveness which in the end will lead remarkable increase on tax collection.
The same is designed to eliminate lengthy manual process with the use of computer software that provides all details about the properties, tax liabilities, and encumbrances that affect ownership of a particular real property unit.
Dizon attributed the sudden increase of RPT collections on the tax mapping operation which started as early as 2010.
The operation resulted to the discovery of some 581,683 unregistered real property units in the province covering at least 20 municipalities.
The documents obtained during the tax mapping show that there are 452,620 real property units (RPU) in 470 barangays in the province.
In effect, the provincial government recorded an additional of 3,495 parcels of land;125,111 buildings; and 457 units of machinery.
Governor Lilia Pineda, recalled that for so long the provincial government has previously recorded only P24-M on RPT collections.
"Gumastos tayo mahigit limampung milyong piso at additional na sixteen milyon sa tax mapping kaya naman gumaganda na ang ating koleksiyon ngayon dahil na rin sa pagtutulungan natin," she stated.
Meanwhile, Pineda yesterday led the launching of iTax system in Sta. Rita town.
She was joined by Mayor Yolly Pineda, Board Members Fritzie Olga David-Dizon, Salvador Dimson, Councilor Tonton Torres among other government officials.
