Best Team Ever.

Iloilo's amazing municipal treasurers, RPT focal persons and Provincial Treasury supervisors all set for higher local revenues 😊😊😊

LEGALLY BLESSED! Having identified the administrative remedy thru sale at public auction as the best remedy in the collection of delinquent real property tax, as proven by the increased collection of rpt due for the previous years and the increase in the number of updated real property units, the second installment of the two-day direction setting delved into the scrutiny of the legalities involved in the public auction sale procedure.

Attorneys Elizabeth Dhyn Cabunagan and Niel Rosales of the Provincial Legal Office discussed the strict compliance on the requirements provided under Sections 254, 258 and 260 of RA 7160, stressing further that presumption of legality on tax sales is not applicable based on latest supreme court decisions, thus we have to perfect the requirements. It was also a great opportunity to review and analyze our practice and identify the weak points, the doables and the non-feasible which need urgent interventions.

On the afternoon, two subjects of previous Audit Observation Memorandum of the COA were tackled to achieve full implementation. Provincial Accountant Mr. Orwen Anuevo explained the status of collection of waived penalties pertaining to the repealed 2019 real property tax amnesty. On the other hand, Mr. Runstedt Arcosa discussed the collection and reporting of the additional levy on idle lands as well as the salient features of financial reporting for ESRE.
