IN line with the agency's mission to raise government revenues through effective and efficient tax administration, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) achieved a milestone accomplishment by hitting all its collection targets for the first four months of the year. Under the stewardship of Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr., the BIR has implemented new measures that have promoted voluntary compliance, service excellence, and fair regulations.

'We reached our goal for January to April of 2023. In the last 30 years, this feat was only done a handful of times. This is a strong and historic start for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, taking into account that we are recovering from the economic repercussion caused by the pandemic,' Commissioner Lumagui stated.
