P12 million taxes collected from Manila flood control projects
The Manila government has collected P12 million in taxes from contractors of completed and ongoing flood control projects.
Mayor Isko Moreno announced that an additional P4 million has been collected as of Tuesday morning, bringing the total to P12 million.
The city is pursuing taxes from contractors of over 300 flood control projects, with 213 finished and 112 ongoing projects identified.
Many of these projects did not secure necessary permits from the city government.
Contractors are being given ample opportunity to comply and have been issued statements of account.
They are also encouraged to avail of the city government's general tax amnesty, which allows payment of taxes and fees without interest or surcharges until December 31.
Failure to comply may lead to charges filed with various agencies, including the Philippine Contractors' Accreditation Board, DPWH, DBM, and the Office of the President.
