Self-Employed Evade P106B in Taxes

[dx8976]

highly unlikely that that figure is accurate or can be substantiated. otherwise they would have evidence to go after the so called tax evaders.

however it it obvious that a lot of people are not paying correct taxes, in all my dealings with doctors and lawyers, for example, i have only received a receipt once.

I'm sure kung bibigyan mo ng chance ang mga tao, hinde rin sila magbabayad ng taxes sa bulok na gov't natin.... and difference lang ng mga ordinary employess eh bawas na kaagad ang mga taxes before nila makuha ang sweldo nila, kaya no chice sila....

[wowiesy]

additional thought:

may kasabihan na "There are only 2 things that we cannot escape in life... DEATH and TAXES.." in a way totoo yan... just what makes it different in other countries and here in the philippines?

the rampant disregard of us here of the law... sa ibang bansa... they also try to avoid not paying taxes... some of them get caught i believe.. and pay the price... dito sa pilipinas... para bang mas in yung hindi pagsunod sa pagbayad ng taxes... marami kasi nakakalusot eh... kung hindi naman palulusutin talaga, tingin ko walang lulusot... but since andyan yung pakikisama... yung padri-padrino... nakakalusot from paying taxes dahil na co-corrupt yung system.. tuloy nagkakaroon ng uneven playing field...

i think medyo pareho din to sa thought na ang pinoy sa abroad mas disiplinado kaysa sa pinoy dito sa pinas...

that's why i prefer to have all those having a professional drivers license pay at leat P10,000 year and their license should be renewed every year. they are earning as much as the ordinary employees and causing chaos/trafic on the roads but has no finanacial obligation to the society. by letting them pay the proper amout...at least they will learn that they have some responsibility to the society and do their driving properly.

i think this is a better tax scheme:

collect only a MINIMAL (or even zero) income tax. BUT increase tax on goods.

this way:

1. savings are encouraged... savings aren't taxed but spending is.
2. everyone in all socioeconomic classes share in the tax burden, unlike now where many of the "poor" don't pay income tax. plus, it would be equitable because how much tax you pay would depend on how much goods you consume.
3. you don't feel that indescribable rage whenever you get your paycheck and read how much has been deducted from it for the tax take (hah hah!)
4. (correct me if im wrong) it's easier to collect taxes on goods than income tax (especially for self-employed people)

hmmm pwede!

The problem dito sa atin we pay taxes then what? Alagaan ang mga tamad na masa? one example lang water para sa masa, bahay para sa masa, kung ano pang leche leche para sa masa...Ano naman para sa atin na mga TAX PAYER? They should always remember that the tax payer are the one feeding the masa not the stupid government officials.

I pay my income tax correctly. And it pains me to see some crooked gov't officials getting their dirty fingers on my hard earned money. I have to admit there are days when I think to myself whether I'm stupid or crazy for paying the correct amount of taxes when I know some idiot in government will be lining their pockets with some of it. It also pisses me off when I see some billboards on some ongoing gov't projects proclaiming that the said project is made possible courtesy of XX politician, it's our taxes that's paying for the project, not the politician's, we don't owe them anything for the project, it's his duty to use taxes properly to build roads, schools, etc. It's my duty to pay taxes.

pag sinabi ba self-employed kasama yun fil-chinese SME biz? malalakas kasi ito mga ito kumita, lalo na yun involved sa importation ng goods/merchandise direct from neighboring Chinese-oriented countries. well, I guess may point yun writer to check them. kasi kung minsan nakakapagtaka kumbakit ang presyo nila eh halos 60% lang ng mga nabibili sa malls like computers, hardware stuff, toys etc ...

i'm not saying na mali sila pero I have to admit na nakakabili din ako sa kanila coz mura nga like those in divisoria, greenhills, tiangges and residential houses turned warehouse ...

[mbt]

aba teka teka, bakit special mention na naman yung mga fil-chinese??! hehehehe :bwahaha:

[GlennSter]

kasi sila ang may pinakamaraming sme dito sa pinas

This government does not deserve our taxes, the way they spend public money to kill the impeachment, to pay off the military, and the other perceived threats to their stay in power has put us in a deficit, they are the guilty ones in spending our money in politics, now that they are short in basic services because of the diversion of public money. The little pandak should be kicked out of the her throne and return her share of the loot.

changes should always start from the leaders...kung nakikita ng mga tao na ang na mga nanghuhuli ay nagbubulag-bulag pag malaking isda ang gagawa ng kalokohan maiisip nila eh,,,hindi na rin mapapansin ang maliit pag sila ang gumawa ng ganon.

besides, leaders should lead change...i would bet na marami ang susunod kay PGMA pag nag switch sya ng service from S600 to a Picanto...or an Iris red Jazz! LOL hehehe

eto pa ang isa... i will admit that i don't know the whole situation about BIRs RATE program... pero ang pinagtataka ko... kela Richard Gomez, Regine Velasquez, Judy Ann Santos e diretso agad sila sa DOJ to file charges.. i would presume that the BIR has already made the appropriate preliminary actions towards the said showbiz personalities bago pa man umabot ito sa DOJ for prosecution.. but look at Manny Pacquiao's case.... porke ba nakatulong si Manny Pacquiao kay GMA eh hindi kinasuhan? nag press release lang na "maging magandang halimbawa ka at magbayad ng tamang buwis..." may kulang na siya na buwis and yet iba ang treatment sa kanya compared to the other parties mentioned na kinasuhan na sa DOJ?

ako naman ay nagtatanong lang....

yung kay pacman yata late a sya nakapagbayad kasi late narin sya binayaran sa talent fee nya. remember, muntik nga lang nya di makuha yung malaking talent fee nya kung di pa nya kinasuhan yung mag nandugas sa kanya. alam ko after april (due date of tax filing) na nya nakuha yung bayad sa kanya. pwede yata mag-claim si manny ng tax exemption as OFW. kasi he earned it by 'working abroad'.

[mbt]

teka teka... yung S600 hindi naman kay GMA yun, government property yun for the use of the president, whoever he or she is.

kahiya hiya naman yatang ipasakay yung presidente ng pilipinas sa bulletproof picanto hehehe.

[Alpha_One]

kahiya hiya naman yatang ipasakay yung presidente ng pilipinas sa bulletproof picanto hehehe.

I'd do that if I were president, hehehe.

Tapos may kasama akong big armored van lagi kung saan pwede kong ipasok yung Picanto kung may "threat".
