MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Sept. 22(PIA) -- Mr. Carlos Tambal, Assistant District Revenue District Officer in Southern Leyte clarified that the legal team of the BIR Regional Office in Eastern Visayas was the entity in charge of filing the case against the tax evader-professional from Southern Leyte. | |||
The action made by the BIR in Southern Leyte was to refer the findings to the legal team at the BIR Regional Office, Mr. Tambal said in a phone patch with Philippine Information Agency. | |||
Mr. Tambal said his agency’s action was not the direct filing of a tax evasion charge but was a referral to their legal team at the BIR Regional Office recommending the filing of such a charge. | |||
Mr. Tambal was referring to the reported case of tax evasion filed by BIR against a lawyer based in Sogod, Southern Leyte. Said tax evader has not been paying the annual income tax, no monthly filing of income tax, no issuance of receipts and is not even registered with the BIR. | |||
It may be recalled that taking a cue from the State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino, the Bureau of Internal Revenue has vowed to go after doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professionals who are not paying the right income taxes. | |||
The BIR is now collecting pertinent data from various agencies such as the Professional Regulation Commission which exercises supervision over all professionals such as accountants, nurses, teachers, engineers, among others. | |||
Aside from running after big time tax evaders, the agency will also go after professionals who under declare their income. (PIA 8 Southern Leyte) | |||

Tambal said that they have been receiving reports that taxes were not withheld in most of the transactions at the barangay level. However, he said that these allegations will have to be verified by their office. | Tambal said that they have been receiving reports that taxes were not withheld in most of the transactions at the barangay level.

However, Tambal added that since the barangays received their Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), with or without transactions, the barangays need to file income tax returns to their office, otherwise, they will impose sanctions for non- compliance of tax laws.(PIA Southern Leyte/esg) | However, Tambal added that since the barangays received their Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), with or without transactions, the barangays need to file income tax returns to their office, otherwise, they will impose sanctions for non- compliance of tax laws.(PIA Southern Leyte/esg) | ||
