MANILA\u00a0— Internal Revenue Commissioner Ceasar Dulay said government IT-experts have been slow in resolving the bureau’s technological issues following a glitch that affected websites of several state agencies on July 3, 2018.<\/p>\n

In a report to Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, Dulay said the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) Information Systems Group (ISG) is still following-up on their request to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to address the problem that affected BIR\u2019s electronic Tax Information System (eTIS).<\/p>\n

\u201cNo formal reply yet from DICT, but we are in contact with them every day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a letter to DICT Acting Secretary Eliseo M. Rio Jr. dated July 18, 2018, Dulay said the DICT Data Center \u201chouses and hosts the BIR core systems and certain eServices.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the \u201cmajor hardware meltdown\u201d prevented the BIR to access its eTIS \u201cand is now causing an enormous disruption of eTIS operations, affecting taxpayers of Large Taxpayer Service (LTS) and Revenue Region 8 – Makati.\u201d<\/p>\n

This problem, he said, \u201cwill ultimately have dire consequences\u201d on collections of RR8-Makati, thus, he is asking for the resolution of the problem as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the DICT Data Center Support Team to move more expediently, with urgency and to provide a timeline of activities on hardware restoration,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
