Klarex bats for tax incentives, economic reforms package

Written by
The City Council has already started committee deliberations on the proposed fiscal incentives and economic reforms package, which the mayor had certified as urgent.
 
The measures include the granting of a 20% discount to advance payers of 2023 and 2024 real property taxes and a 10% discount for those who will file their business and other local taxes on time.
 
To further improve the ease of doing business and spur back-to-life infrastructure, Mayor Klarex Uy has asked the City Council to pass ordinances to streamline the processing of Business Permits and Building Permits.

“Gusto nako nga daghang Kagay-anon ang makakuha ug mabulokon nga trabaho. Mahitabo kini kung makabalik-bakud ang mga negosyo nga naapektuhan sa pandemya, matukod pa ang daghan nga mga bag-ong negosyo, ug madugangan ang mga magpapatigayon o mga investors nga mosulod dinhi sa atong syudad,” (I want more jobs for Kagay-anons. This will only happen if our businesses affected by the pandemic restart; and more businesses open with investors coming in to the city.), the first term mayor said.
 
Aside from discounts, his non-fiscal incentives package includes:
 Relief on penalties for delinquent payers of Real Property Tax and Transfer Tax;
 Relief on penalties for businesses operating without Mayor’s Permit, those who failed to retire their business permits, and those delinquent in paying business taxes;
 Relief on the penalties imposed by Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA); and
 Relief on lease payments by public market vendors. (Tidbits from CMO press release)
