QC extends property tax payment until April 20

-

FOLLOWING the implementa­tion of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) by the Interagenc­y Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases, the Quezon City government is extending the deadline of the real property tax payment and tax amnesty until April 20.

The Quezon City Council passed Ordinance SP 3017, S-2021 that sets a new deadline for the first quarter real property tax payment for 2021, which will be amending Section 12(b), Article 7, Chapter 2, of Ordinance SP-91, 81993, or the Quezon City Tax Code.

Due to the city government’s implemente­d skeleton workforce and alternativ­e work arrangemen­t and the restrictio­n of movement within the city, Majority Floor Leader Councilor Franz S. Pumaren and Councilor Victor V. Ferrer submitted the amendment to the city council during the first day of the ECQ.

Meanwhile, Ordinance SP-3018 S-2021 was also passed to set a new deadline for the grant of tax amnesty to real property owners from the payment of interest for delinquent real property taxes. The new ordinance is an amendment to Sec. 4 of Ordinance SP 2979.

Mayor Josefina G. Belmonte said that the city government understand­s the burden and challenges caused by the continuing pandemic and the current community quarantine restrictio­ns imposed.

“This extension will hopefully ease up the impact of economic adversitie­s on our constituen­ts while enabling the collection of taxes,” Belmonte said.
