A proposal to grant business tax exemptions to the fire-affected Cogon market tenants has been passed and approved by the 14th Sangguniang Panlungsod last January 17, 2020, led by Vice Mayor Jose Antonio S. Veloso. This ordinance ensures that the tenants and vendors of Cogon market, who are registered as occupants in the official records of the city, and who fell victim to the massive July 2019 fire, may apply for business tax exemptions applicable to the third and fourth quarters of 2019. They may avail of the exemptions only until January 31, 2020.
