The Department of Finance has revealed the list of top-performing cities in local revenue generation for 2020 and, as expected, the list is dominated by cities located in Metro Manila, with only one city—Davao—making it to the top 10.
Quezon City topped the list released by the DOF’s Bureau of Local Government Finance, with its locally sourced revenue (LSR) reaching P21.57 billion last year. The DOF says the LSR includes the sum of real property taxes, local business tax, as well as fees and charges and receipts from economic enterprises.
