Financial Capability - Historical Income

San Jose del Monte's historical performance (Table 8.2 and Figure 9.3 refer) shows that its total income in 1996 almost quadrupled from a mere 46.65 million to 179.55 million in 2001. Table 8.2 shows the income figures of the City which clearly shows an upward trend.

Table 9.2 Historical Income (Php)


Figure 9.3 Historical Income Figures (1996-2001)


The major sources of local revenues of a city are generally derived from three sources. The first are regular allotments and aids from the national government, second are local taxes, fees and charges and third are from contract borrowings or loans. San Jose del Monte is no different. Table 9.3 shows the percentage allocation of San Jose del Monte's income for 1996 to 2001. For that period, the largest fraction of the City's income was derived from Internal Revenue Allocation (IRA), which ranged from 62 to 78 percent of the City's total income for that period. It also shows that there is a decreasing share of the City's Tax and Operating Miscellaneous Revenues to its total income. This is due to the fact that San Jose del Monte's IRA is increasing faster than its other income sources. This is especially true in 2001, the year when it became a city and received an IRA amount of PhP 138,567,846.00, as compared to the PhP 88,015,394.00 it received in year 2000.


Table 9.3 Percentage Allocation of Income Components (1996-2001)


The Operating and Miscellaneous Revenues of the City were derived from fees and receipts from various sources including receipts from cemeteries, plumbing permit fees, inspection fees, garbage fees and the like. This is consistent with Section 129 of RA 7160 of 1991 or the Local Government Code. The Code provides that each local unit has the power to create its own sources of revenue and to levy taxes, fees and charges subject to the provisions of this code and consistent with the basic policy of local autonomy.
