Pursigido ang Sangguniang Bayan ng Daet na matugunan ang kahilingan ng mga marginal income earner sa lalawigan ng Camarines Norte hinggil sa usapin ng panibagong bayarin may kaugnayan sa ipinalabas na Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 7 – 2014 na ipinalabas ng Bureau of Internal Revenue kamakailan lamang.
Una nang nagsagawa ng resolusyon si Konsehal Rosa Mia King bilang Chairman ng Committee on Public Utility ng resolusyon na may titulong “RESOLUTION APPEALING TO THE BIR COMMISSIONER KIM HENARES TO EXCLUDE ITEM NO. 4 OF THE REGISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS OF MARGINAL INCOME EARNERS OF THE BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE ANENT REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 7 – 2004” na naglalayong maipakiusap mismong kay Commissioner Kim Henares ng BIR na huwag nang ipatupad ang nasabing bagong panuntunan dito sa lalawigan ng Camarines Norte dahilan na rin sa liit lamang ng kinikita ng mga Tricycle Drivers and Operators sa nabanggit na probinsya.
Ito ay bunga ng nakaraang pakikipagpulong ng Sangguniang Bayan sa sector ng traysikel sa bayan ng Daet na dinaluhan din ng mga tricycle group mula sa ibang bayan sa Camarines Norte.
Hindi pa rin kuntento sa naunang resolusyon si Konsehal King kung kayat nitong nakatalikod na sesyon ng Sangguniang Bayan ng Daet ay sinundan pa ito ng pagpapasa ng panibagong resolusyon na nakaaddress naman sa dalawang kongresista ng lalawigan. Kalakip pa rin nito ang mga kadahilanan at mga computations na isinagawa ng mga tricycle operators at maging ng mismong konsehal.
Nabatid din na maging ang ibang mga LGU sa Camarines Norte ay may kahalintulad na rin na pagkilos. Maging ang Sangguniang Panlalawigan, sa pamamagitan ni Board Member Bong Quibral ay hiniling na rin ang imbitasyon sa Revenue Dist. Officer ng Camarines Norte hinggil pa rin sa naturang isyu.
Samantala, narito naman ang nilalaman ng kabuuang resolusyon ni Konsehal King para kina 1st Dist Represntative Catherine Barcelona-Reyes at 2nd Dist. Representative Elmer E. Panotes:

WHERAS, the issuance of registered receipts and invoices constitute additional burden to the marginal income earner considering the level of income they are earning which is far less than those who are earning minimum wage as employees;
