Kalibo, Aklan- Governor Carlito S. Marquez has cited the notable accomplishments of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Department of Trade and Industry provincial offices in Aklan which to him has immensely contributed to the economic growth of the province.
In his 7th State of the Province Address delivered during the 3rd Regular Session of the Aklan Sangguniang Panlalawigan on Feb.2, 2011, Marquez singled out BIR Aklan for increasing its tax collection performance by 14.8%, from P578.9 Million in 2009 to P664, 714,186 in 2010, or an increase of a whopping P85,741,295.
Effectively, BIR Aklan exceeded its collection goal for 2010 of P641, 852,000 by 3.56%, or by P22, 862,186.
Though Aklan has reduced its dependency on IRA allotment share to only 62%, well below the national average LGU dependency rate of 79%, the provincial government of Aklan receives a sizeable more than half a billion-peso IRA share of its about a billion-peso annual budget.
Marquez, likewise, praised the DTI Aklan provincial office for the robust performance in export and domestic sales generated by Aklan producers.
Exports registered US$202.000 in 2010 mainly generated by the exports of piǹa cloth, abaca and nito crafts and coco sugar products.
Domestic sales of local producers reached the P129, 903,200 mark mainly through participation in local, regional, national and international trade fairs.
