Taxpayers pay their taxes at the Cebu City Treasurer’s office in this CDN file photo.
Lawyer Jerone Castillo, Acting City Treasurer, said that the Business Tax Division, Real Property Tax Division, Cash Receipts Division, and Business Permit and Licensing Offices will be transferred to the 3rd floor of SM City Cebu in the old VECO office. Castillo said they chose SM City Cebu because it was accessible to the public and the old VECO office, where the offices will be placed, is spacious enough to accommodate more clients.
These services will remain in SM City Cebu until the construction of the city’s new Finance Center along MC Briones Street, which is across the Executive Building, will be complete.This is similar with other big cities in the Philippines, which have their own finance centers housing all tax, permits, audits, and budget offices.
