THE Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza), in partnership with MyEG Philippines Inc. (MyEG PH), officially launched the Online Travel Tax Services System (OTTSS), providing traveling citizens with more than 90,000 options to pay for their travel tax nationwide.

This came after Tieza's COO Mark Lapid signed a memorandum of agreement with MyEG PH CEO, Ann Margaret Saldaña, at the Midas Tent in Midas Hotel and Casino, Pasay City.

With the OTTSS, Tieza provides citizens a faster, more convenient and hassle-free way to pay their travel taxes online using different payment options from MyEG's partner e-wallets such as GCash, Maya, GrabPay and ShopeePay; and online bank transfers from BDO, BPI, RCBC, Unionbank and Maybank; or through their VISA, Mastercard, and JCB credit and debit cards. Cash payment options are also still available through any branch of 7-Eleven, Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Express, Bayad Center, SM Malls, Robinsons Department Store, Tambunting Pawnshop, RD Pawnshop, USSC, Posible, DA5, and many others.

The process of paying the travel tax online is quick and easy. Citizens just simply need to visit Tieza's website at https://tieza.gov.ph, click the 'Travel Tax' on the navigation menu, and choose 'Pay Travel Tax Online.' Then click the MyEG icon, fill-up the form, select their preferred payment option, and pay.

In addition to the OTTSS, citizens will also soon be able to pay for their travel tax via MyEG's website at www.myeg.ph. This saves the time that travelers consume queuing in airports before boarding their flights.
