Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr. continues the BIR's productive relationship with its Multi-Sectoral Group through a Memorandum of Agreement signing held last September 10, 2024. The Multi-Sectoral Group represents the different industries under the private sector. Through the Multi-Sectoral Group, the private sector can voice out their concerns with current and proposed polices and regulations of the BIR. Regular dialogues and consultations with the private sector is in keeping with Commissioner’s Lumagui thrust for excellent taxpayer service.

"The BIR welcomes both the old and new members of our Multi-Sectoral Group. The retention of old members and the addition of new members show that our relationship with the private sector is a productive and fruitful one. The private sector is, and always will be, our partner in nation-building. Regular discourse and exchange of ideas between the BIR and representatives from the private sector will create a more stable taxation system in the Philippines" Commissioner Lumagui stated.

Returning members of the Multi-Sectoral Group include Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tax Management Association of the Philippines, Management Association of the Philippines, Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines, Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Association of Certified Public Accountants in Public Practice, Association of CPAs in Commerce and Industry, Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc., and Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines.

There are also new members of the Multi-Sectoral Group, specifically, Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc., Makati Business Club, and Alliance of Tech Innovators for the Nation.
