Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui, Jr. signed a historic Multi-Sectoral Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) partnership with nine (9) business/professional groups last August 8, 2023 to improve taxpayer service. This is in line with his mission to make the BIR a service-oriented agency, not merely a goal-oriented one.
"This MOA is a historic day for the BIR and the country. In order to make the Philippines a top investment destination, we need to work hand-in-hand with the private sector. We will engage in dialogue with them. I want a BIR that is a service-oriented agency. The more we help make the country business-friendly, the more investments it will create. Ultimately, the more taxes we will collect", Commissioner Lumagui stated.
