Excise tax collection for cigarettes

Requested from BIR by R. Padojinog at 02:28 PM on Aug 05, 2022.
Purpose: Economic Analysis on Industry Performance
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2007 - 08/05/2022
Tracking no: #BIR-664799102325

Padojinog 02:28 PM, Aug 05, 2022 

Good day! 

May I request for annual data from 2007-2021 on the amount of excise tax collected from cigarettes? Most available reports only detail to the level of tobacco and not cigarettes particularly. However, for the purpose of our economic analysis, we need information specifically on cigarettes.

I was hoping for something similar to the news article below which had reportedly gotten data from BIR and DOF, implying that data is frequently collected:

Thank you!
