NAGA CITY, Jan. 14 (PIA) --- In a matter of less than an hour or two a businessman with a complete requirements in his hands can already get his business permit or renewal without the laborious hours of waiting.
This ease and comfort was attributed by Naga City Mayor John Bongat to the speedy business permit renewal process reduced from the usual five steps down to four steps this year.
This move, he said, also reduced the time and money spent for the usual and tedious process of securing clearances and permits for a businessman to operate his commerce.
City public information officer Allen Lucre Reondanga said the city government also instituted value entitlements to those establishments who will renew their permits early serving such as a “come-on” to encourage more business owners to support the said campaign.
“Mayor Bongat also thought of fueling our businessmen’s interest to either renew or register their new business through the Business One Stop Shop (BOSS) program by giving out freebies such as mugs and umbrella. These items are given to the first 300 clients who obtained Mayor's Permit,” Reondanga said in an interview.
Naga City’s BOSS campaign aims to give businessmen a positive take to renew their business and to renew the registration of close to 6,000 business establishments in the city.
“ The BOSS will be run from January 1 to 31, 2014 at the People's hall. However, paying Business and Mayor's Permit taxes, fees and charges after January 20 will already be subject to penalty and surcharges,” Reondanga aded.
BOSS offers the customer the convenience of not running from one department or sections to another just to finish the requirements needed to operate or start up their business. Its primary purpose is to cut red tape and make life easier for those who are willing to have their business venture in the city.
Joining the BOSS are participating offices or departments like the Business permits and Licensing Office, office of the building official for building clearance, City Health Office for Sanitary permit and health cards, City Planning and Development Office for zoning clearance, the Bureau of Fire Protection for fire safety inspection certificate and PAG IBIG office to accept payments.
Last year during the BOSS drive, the local government of Naga was able to generate Php 145,121,018.47 from the business taxes. Proceeds of this went to the financing of economic and social services and the implementation of various development projects that contributed to the economic growth of the city.
The overwhelming response of the business community in this endeavor shows the taxpayer’s assurance that their hard-earned money goes back to them in the form of other social services. It also shows the business community’s confidence that commerce and trade in the city will also gain a positive stance. (MAL/LSM-PIA5/Camarines Sur)
