Run After Tax Evaders

By

IN PHOTOS | Regional Director Jose Eric Furia of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue Region No. 17, shared that through its Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr., their office has been implementing the excellent taxpayer services and aggressive enforcement activities to include the 'Oplan Kandado' to business establishments which do not pay the right taxes, and the RATE or the Run After Tax Evaders, among others.

"Most of those who are selling illicit cigarettes are smugglers, that's why our actions should be organized, otherwise it will affect our operation in running after these people. BIR does not operate alone, we need the collaboration with the PNP and other law enforcement agencies, to ensure safe and successful operation," he said.  

"We are flooded with illicit cigarettes that we have to seize and destroy, as smugglers are not paying the excise tax, including those selling other products here coming from other countries yet do not pay the right taxes," he added.

An excise, or excise tax, is any duty on manufactured goods that is normally levied at the moment of manufacture for internal consumption rather than at sale. It is therefore a fee that must be paid in order to consume certain products. (JPG, PIA Caraga)
