Settle tax payments via PayMaya mobile app starting Nov. 2019
Subscribers of PayMaya Philippines will be able to remit tax payments to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) starting next November via the Pay Bills application, the company said Monday.
The bureau and PayMaya teamed up to allow tax settlements through mobile payments.
Through the partnership, PayMaya said its account holders will be able to remit their tax payments to the BIR through the Pay Bills feature of its mobile application.
“With agencies like the BIR opening digital payment channels for their constituents, the quality and efficiency of government services are vastly improved, which will help drive our competitiveness as a country,” PayMaya founder and CEO Orlando Vea said.
PayMaya has yet to release a specific timetable for the BIR payment feature, but said it will be online in a month’s time.
“Having more digital payment options is part of the government’s efforts to drive ease of doing business in the country and help make tax payments more convenient for Filipinos,” said BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay.
“With our partnership with PayMaya, even those who are not within reach of a bank branch can make their tax payments on time, wherever they may be,” he said.
PayMaya is now working with the BIR to extend digital tax payments to other channels such as its online portal as well as revenue district offices nationwide.
