Renewal Period within the First Month of the Year versus Anniversary Date of the
Issuance of Business Permit
Everybody agreed that they preferred renewal period within the first month of
the year rather than the anniversary date of the issuance of business permit for
the reason that the latter will make the fiscal administration complicated.
Mr. Gary Domingo shared that the City Government of Quezon will enact an
ordinance making a non-extendible period for the renewal of business permit
until January 31 of every year.
Mr. Domingo also stated that in order for them to decongest vast number of
business applicants during the renewal period, they came up with a tax incentive
tool for tax payers to have a 30% increase in their tax payable and as a
consequence no opening of their respective accounts. This tax incentive tool will
be implemented in CY 2019.
PROJECT ONE
Per Asec. Pacheco, Project One refers to 1 form, 1 number and 1 portal (online
application). One means one government. (From SEC to social services such as
SSS, Pag-Ibig etc.) She also stated that there will be a unified form (immediate
action agenda).
Atty. Malaya suggested that ARTA Councils should campaign among the Local
Chief Executives (LCEs) in coordination with the DILG for the New ARTA Law.
BPLO Mabalacat stated that they are not yet computerized and they are only
computer-aided. Asec. Pacheco assured BPLO Mabalacat that based on the New
ARTA Law, 3rd to 6th Class Municipalities will be sponsored by DICT, DILG or
ARTA for the automation of the said municipalities.
As regards the one portal, per Asec. Pacheco, there is a prototype subject to
scale/pilot testing. In relation to this, Atty. Malaya suggested that there should
be a manner of selection of cities/municipalities for the said pilot testing such as
per type or according to the volume of businesses registered in a
city/municipality. She also volunteered her office to be the subject of the said
pilot testing. BPLO Mabalacat and BPLO Lipa City also volunteered.
Unified Form
Deadline is October.
Since it is too late for each LGU to allocate the required budget for the unified
form, implementation of said unified form is in 2020. The testing of the same is
in 2019.
Unified form would entail an end to end transaction.
Barangay Clearance
(BPLO San Juan) suggested that there should be an ordinance imposing uniform
rates among barangays which would be in three (3) tiers.
Per Asec. Pacheco, there should be a DILG Memorandum Circular pertaining to
the implementation of section 9 (f).
Atty. Malaya proposed that the DILG should ask the Liga ng mga Barangay to
convene regarding the matter.
