IN PHOTOS: Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto has welcomed the implementation of an interagency data-sharing system that will facilitate a more efficient and modernized tax administration process, helping the government boost much-needed revenues to accelerate the nation’s growth. Upon the directive of Secretary Recto, the Securities and Exchange Commission Philippines (SEC) recently established the Swift Corporate and Other Records Exchange (SCORE) Protocol, which is a web portal that allows the Commission to share its electronic database of corporate records with partner regulatory and enforcement agencies to boost bureaucratic efficiency. Through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed on July 17, 2024 between SEC Chairperson Emilio B. Aquino and Bureau of Internal Revenue(BIR) Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui, the BIR is the first agency to access the portal. This will empower the BIR to harmonize records of registered corporations and enhance tax collection efficiency. “This will be of great help for us in our verification of corporations’ information. A real time online verification will be in place. We’d like to assure the SEC of our full support to this endeavor, which is much aligned to BIR digitalization projects. I’m looking forward to the continuous improvement of processes, policies, and systems to provide better services to our taxpayers and to aid our employees in performing their day-to-day tasks,” said BIR Commissioner Lumagui in his message. Apart from the Protocol, the SEC launched its third wave digital initiatives under its Digital-All program, which will further enhance the ease of doing business by serving Anyone, Anytime, and Anywhere through Zero Paper, Zero Wet Signature, and Zero Notarization. These include the Electronic Application for Modification of Entity Names and Data (eAMEND), SEC Foreign Investment Registration Station (SEC FIRST), Electronic Submission Authentication Portal (eSAP), SEC Zuper Easy Registration Online (SEC ZERO). Secretary Recto was represented by Department of Finance (DOF) Undersecretary for Tax Research and Expenditure Monitoring (TREM) Renato E. Reside, Jr. during the event.
