As the deadline for the filing of income tax returns draws near, the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) will be setting up accessible stations to help taxpayers settle their dues in an easy and convenient manner through LANDBANK’s online payment channels.
In partnership with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), LANDBANK Hubs will be stationed within select Revenue District Offices (RDO) nationwide to facilitate online payments of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) during work days from April 1 to 17, 2023 at 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The LANDBANK Hubs aim to assist taxpayers to remit their taxes much easier online through the BIR’s Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS), and LANDBANK’s own e-Tax Payment System (eTPS) and Link.BizPortal channels.
“Through these hubs, we hope to make the process of paying taxes more convenient and accessible for everyone. LANDBANK remains committed to supporting the BIR by helping taxpayers fulfill their obligations and contribute to nation-building,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia Cayosa Borromeo.
To accommodate more taxpayers, select LANDBANK branches nationwide will also extend regular banking hours from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and will be open on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM to accept tax payments.
The complete list of LANDBANK Hubs and branches that will be open for extended hours is available on LANDBANK’s official website (www.landbank.com) and social media accounts.
The LANDBANK and BIR have been working hand in hand to boost digital tax collection and provide taxpayers efficient and convenient payment platforms. The Bank’s digital banking channels are in sync with the BIR’s tax filing facility, in line with the National Government’s Ease of Doing Business initiative.
As of 31 December 2022, the LANDBANK eTPS and Link.BizPortal have facilitated a total of more than 1.2 million tax payment transactions with total value of P117.3 billion.
