Past Event: Thursday, January 19, 2023

Pursuant to the TRAIN Law, a further reduction of personal income taxes took effect last January 1, 2023. This would effectively give rise to the government’s need to source funds from other means to defray government spendings. To respond to the effects of the pandemic and lowering of income tax rates in 2023, the Bureau of Internal Revenue is expected to continue if not hasten with its collection efforts such as the conduct of tax assessments. Hence, taxpayers must prepare for the possibility of more BIR audit in the future. Taxpayers with on-going BIR audit must also ensure that all the required submissions are complied with on time.

This free webinar is aimed to inform taxpayers of the different stages in tax assessment and provide updates and reminders to taxpayers on how to handle BIR assessments effectively.
