EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to establish a Revenue District Office of the Bureau of lnternal Revenue in
Tubod, Lanao del Norte to cater to the taxpayers of Lanao de] Norte and to ease the workload of
the existing RDO in lligan City.
Currently, the existing Revenue District Office No. 101, which caters Ihgan City and Lanao
del  Norte,  is  situated  in  Brgy.  Palao,  Iligan  City.  RDO   101  js  approximately  flfty-four  (54)
kilometers from the capital of the Province of Lanao del Norte. It is only proper to create a separate
BIR RDO for the Province of Lanao del Norte and the highly urbanized city of Ihgan. The travel
time and considerable alnount of expenses to transact with the BIR is an additional burden to our
taxpayers from the Province of Lanao del Norte, and  therefore the creation of a new RDO for
Lanao del Norte will not only lessen the transportation expenses as well as the turnaround time of
processing of services.
In view of the  foregoing,  the prompt approval  of this measure  is  earnestly  sought  and
recommended.
