The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Wednesday filed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) a criminal complaint against three companies for alleged tax evasion through the use of fake receipts.
In an ambush interview following the filing, BIR Commissioner Romeo “Jun” Lumagui said the respondents bought fake or ghost receipts to reduce their tax liabilities.
“Itong mga bumibili ng pekeng resibo na ito, ito ay mga lehitimong negosyante na ang layunin nila mapababa ang kanilang babayarang buwis, ang income tax, at saka ‘yung value-added tax na baka dapat nilang bayaran,” Lumagui said. “Bukod sa nagbebenta na ng pekeng resibo, na kailangan nila bayaran ‘yan, eh ‘yung negosyo nila bumibili ng mga resibong ito. Kaya ang laki ng nawawalang fees. Bilyon-bilyon agad ang liability ng isang kumpanya pa lang na ‘yan,” he said.“Sa sinampa nating kaso ngayon laban sa tatlong kumpanya, kasama po diyan ang accountant na nag-audit ng financial statements nitong tatlong kumpanya na ito,” he said.
