MANILA<\/strong>\u2014 The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has postponed the release of new tax stamps to enhance its security features.<\/p>\n

In a briefing, Finance Undersecretary Antonette Tionko said BIR pushed the date of release from November 2017 to January 2018 as it continues to fine-tune the security features to prevent fraud, among others.<\/p>\n

“There are still some things we tweaked on security features,” she said.<\/p>\n

BIR Assistant Commissioner Teresita Angeles said the manufacturer of the stamps, which she did not identify, is still testing the papers to be used.<\/p>\n

“It has a different design and then there are some security features that will be enhanced,” she said.<\/p>\n

The current stamp tax design has a picture of the slow-moving filter-feeding Butanding (whale shark), which can be found in the waters of Donsol, Sorsogon in Region 5.<\/p>\n

The new design will bear the picture of the smallest known primate, the tarsier, found in the provinces of Bohol, Samar, and Leyte in the Visayas and in Mindanao.<\/p>\n

Tionko said price of the new stamps would be higher by PHP0.2 than its current rate of PHP0.15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
