Smart had consistently been cited by the Bureau of Internal Revenue as the country’s Top Large Taxpayer. The telco paid the highest income tax among all Philippine corporations in 2006, 2007, and 2009.

Smart was also given the Top Large Taxpayer Billionaire’s Club Award in 2008 and 2010. This award is given to companies that have posted at least a P1-billion increase in tax payment from the previous year.
