Here's a Fun (and Legal) Way to Run for Your Taxes

With the sky-rocketing cost of living in the Philippines, it's sometimes tempting to just run from your problems. That includes the taxes you need to pay. But what if we tell you there's a way to literally race against your tax troubles? 

Lace up your sneakers and stretch those calves because pioneering online tax filing and payment platform Taxumo has just rolled out an exhilarating solution to your tax woes—the Taxumo Fund Run 2024, happening on April 30, 2024, at the Quirino Grandstand, Manila.

Here's the deal: the farther you run, the bigger the tax relief prize. Choose from distances ranging from a breezy 3km to a full marathon, with cash prizes that could help you settle those pesky tax obligations and might also leave you with a little (or a lot) extra for a guilt-free, post-race shopping extravaganza.

The first three who cross their chosen distance get a corresponding cash prize: Php 300,000 for the 3km winners; Php 500,000 for the 5km winners; Php 700,000 for the 10km winners; Php 1,000,000 for the 21km winners; and Php 2,000,000 for the full marathon (42 km) winners.

Since this is a fun run, expect a fun and energetic atmosphere with music, entertainment, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends (who also understand the struggle of tax season).

The deadline for registration is April 1, 2024, 11:59:59 PM.
