The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has generated additional revenues of P1.5 billion in 2021 through its post clearance audit activities, the agency said in a statement yesterday.
The BOC said the Post Clearance Audit Group (PCAG) collected the said amount as part of the 349 audit notice letters (ANL) issued.
According to the BOC, the said collection is 25 percent higher than its revenue collection from the previous year.
Additionally, PCAG said it is optimistic to legally collect more revenues from post clearance audits with pending status from 2019 to 2021.
“Presently, there are 55 demand letters amounting to P12.47 billion which have become final and executory for failure of the audited importers to contest the same,” the BOC said.
“These are now being referred to the BOC Legal Service for filing of the necessary collection suit,” it added.
