| Funding
of the Barangay
The
majority of Barangay Bel-Air's funds come from the Real Property Tax (RPT)
payments, while the sources of income include clearances, the Internal
Revenue Allotment (IRA), the Community Tax Certificate (CTC) payments
and other miscellaneous sources (e.g. interest from investments, payment
of IDs).
The
share of Barangay Bel-Air from the RPT constitutes thirty percent (30%)
of the barangay's real property taxes, half of which goes to Barangay
Bel-Air while the other half is distributed equally among the other barangays
in the city.
The
share of all barangays in the IRA constitute twenty percent (20%,) and
each barangay's share is allocated on the basis of the following formula:
population - sixty percent (60%) and equal sharing - forty percent (40%).
Ten
percent (10%) of the barangay's general fund goes to the Sangguniang Kabataan.
To
prepare the barangay budget, the barangay treasurer submits to the Punong
Barangay an estimate of the income and expenditures of the barangay. The
Punong Barangay then prepares the barangay budget, which is then submitted
to the Sangguniang Barangay for legislative enactment.
The
Commission on Audit (COA) ensures that the barangay follows its regulations
with regards to its accounts, such as:
-
The barangay cannot appropriate public money or property for religious
or private purposes.
-
Funds shall be available exclusively for the specific purpose for
which they have been appropriated. No ordinance shall be passed
authorizing any transfer of appropriations from one item to another.
-
No money shall be paid on account of any contract under which services
have been rendered or goods delivered.
-
No cach advance shall be granted to any local official or employee,
elective or appointive, unless made in accordance with the rules
and regulations as the COA may prescribe.
