Butuan – The Bureau of Internal Revenue recently padlocked AVRM Marketing in Langihan this city after it was caught cheating on its taxes.
BIR Revenue District Officer Edilberto Radaza said, the establishment failed to comply with the Value Added tax Law and will not be authorized to continue doing business transactions not until it settled the taxes due for payment.
The Oplan Kandado strategy of the BIR is being implemented nationwide to strengthen the bureau’s imposition of penalty against those non-compliant taxpayers.
According to Caraga’s Revenue District Officer, Oplan Kandado will adopt a new scheme through surveillance, immediate imposition of penalties upon discovery of blatant violations which will lead to the suspension or temporary closure of business.
“The non-compliant taxpayer is specifically those who have been found to have violated the existing revenue laws and regulations that are properly notified of such wrong-doings and still continued to refuse to comply with the prescribed requirements,” said Radaza.
It was learned, there are several business establishments in Butuan City that has been warned but BIR Revenue District Officer Radaza refused to give the names pending investigations and results of the VAT compliance notice they issued to concerned businessmen.
It was also emphasized that due process would be observed in the implementation of Oplan Kandado.
As provided by Section 15 of the Tax Code, there are three grounds the BIR can impose closure or suspension order of the operation of taxpayers, (1) if the taxpayers don’t issue sales invoice or receipt, (2) if they fail to file tax return, and (3) if they understate their sales or receipts by more than 30 percent.
Radaza warned, the BIR have ways to detect tax understatement or under-declaration.
