#AskTheTaxWhiz: Taking on the #April15Challenge

Are you ready for the #April15Challenge?

April 15, 2019, is the deadline for filing of the annual income tax return (ITR). In line with this, the Center for Strategic Reforms of the Philippines (CSR Philippines) launched an information campaign called the #April15Challenge.

This aims to spark curiosity and promote awareness among taxpayers about the requirements, process, and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) forms – especially those forms updated under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law – for filing ITRs and paying taxes.

Easy-to-digest and up-to-date infographics and instructional videos featuring prominent personalities have been released on social media to assist various types of taxpayers and empower them to perform this civic duty as part of their contribution to nation-building.

Check out some of these infographics and videos below!

CSR Philippines is a non-profit, non-governmental organization advocating for tax education and reform.
