Key points

  1. BIR commitments. The BIR prioritizes and expedites Certificates of Tax Exemption for raw land transfers to the NHA for national government socialized housing. This covers projects for families affected by calamities, clearing of waterways and esteros, government infrastructure projects, and those living in danger areas.
  2. Streamlining. The BIR streamlines the process by reducing or eliminating unnecessary documentary requirements. Requests are processed directly at the Office of the Commissioner.
  3. HUDCC role. The HUDCC helps the BIR identify and monitor qualified socialized housing projects by submitting a regularly updated master list of national government projects.
  4. NHA role. The NHA indorses the contractor’s application, assists in evaluating and verifying the documents attached, and provides a list of authorized officers to certify NHA records.
