The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) recently held a series of free BizTalk learning sessions in an effort to educate small and medium enterprises (SMEs) about taxation. 

In partnership with Taxumo, an online assistance platform, the tax talks kicked off in Davao on Aug. 1 before heading to Alabang, Pasig, Las Pinas, Iloilo, and Baguio within the month. BPI is hosting the sessions in its branches in the locations mentioned.

 “Our BizTalk on taxation will help SMEs understand the taxes they need to be aware of, how to comply with them, and how to manage them with ease as part of their businesses’ finance and operations,” said Dominique Ocliasa, head of Business Banking at BPI.
