BUTUAN CITY – The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has lauded the PHP154 million withholding tax remittance of the Agusan del Sur provincial government for 2021.

It was received by Provincial Administrator Ronulfo Paler, who represented Agusan del Sur Gov. Santiago Cane Jr.
“The plaque recognized the concerted efforts of the provincial government as a withholding tax agent in helping the BIR achieve its collection goal,” Lagat said.

“May we always support and empower each other through our passion to serve the public,” Lagat said.
