The Department of Trade and Industry Central Visayas Office (DTI 7) is inviting the public to attend a consultation on the proposed amendments to the BMBE law or Barangay Micro-Business Enterprises Act of 2002.
The public hearing will be held at 9:00 in the morning on September 23, 2011 (Friday) at the Social Hall of the Cebu Provincial Capitol, Osmena Boulevard Cebu City
According to DTI, the BMBE integrates micro-business enterprises in the informal sector to the mainstream economy and small businessmen may avail of exemption from income tax payments, one of the perks the BMBE law provides.
Also known as Republic Act 9178, the BMBE law offers micro enterprises in barangays incentives, such as exemption from minimum wage coverage, technical assistance from DTI, TESDA, TLRC and other government agencies and credit assistance from Land Bank, Government Service Insurance System, Social Security System and other government financial institutions.
The DTI said that the BMBE law will also help expand the tax base of local government units: the more people go into business the bigger number of taxpayers.
