General Trias taxes now due Feb. 10

GENERAL TRIAS, Cavite—The city council here has passed a resolution extending the payment of business taxes and fees without surcharges until Feb. 10, 2017.

Resolution No. 2017-1, the Tax Revenue Ordinance of 2017, was approved last January 17, 2017 during third and final reading by the council presided over by Vice Mayor Maurito “Morit” Sison.

The ordinance will be implemented thru the Business Permits and Licensing Office once Mayor Ony Ferrer signs it into law, said Councilor Florencio Ayos, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means.

“Through this ordinance passed by our Council, we are giving a chance to those paying business taxes to do so without penalty,” Ferrer said.
