BIR harassing Restaurants. Move by PGMA for election funds for 2010?

**ghosthunter** · July 23rd, 2009 05:27 PM

It has been observed BIR agents are harassing restaurants. Reason why restaurants are targeted is because these places are using POS system to monitor their income. This also makes it easier for the BIR to check.

Is this a move by PGMA to generate election funds for 2010?

we do not know if it is the basis of the harassment or not. wala na akong tiwala kay GMA eh.

but afaik, they are also harassing other small businesses too.

Syempre. My friend's mom is working on BIR and he confirmed this. Di lang na mention kung may involvement si GMA.

i think it's coz the BIR is pressured to increase its tax revenue coz of massive Phil. govt borrowing this year

sigurado di lang restos ang hinaharass nila

The PASG is also actively harassing warehouses these past few weeks. Mga i-ninspection lang at nakapasa a few months ago, gusto inspection ulit. By the SAME guys of the SAME group, mind you, so I dunno...

Lahat hina-harass. GMA didn't reach her target revenue so the pressure is on. The problem is, di nila hinahabol ang mga big fish. If we go for the big companies ran by the Chinese, they would have better chances of hitting their target.

Hay! Some things never change...

Just the chinese? That is saying filipinos are 100% honest. And then how about the muslim traders (tiange?)... tax-free operation?

yun friend ko (chinese), one of the biggest hardware dito sa philippines. lahat or halos lahat ng warehouse nila kinandado ng PASG, puro smuggled goods daw ang pinaparating. nangyari lang ito a few weeks ago at nasa dyaryo nun isang araw.

naisip ko nanggigipit nanaman ang gobyerno para makakolekta para gamitin sa eleksyon, biglaan lang kasi nilang pinasara yun mga bodega.

walang pag-asa talaga gobyerno natin, kayod ng kayod ang mga negosyante tas gagawin ang mga kalokohan na to ng gobyerno

There are a few restaurants we saw that were padlocked.... This is not good, especially during these times when the economy is not doing well.... Leaves a bad taste in the mouth......
