Your Thoughts on BIR's Ad Campaign?

[wowiesy]

Wrong.

The doctor said that he cannot comment on it until they send their demand letter to him, which they have not, and that if he truly owes back taxes, he is willing to pay them and the penalty.

The BIR says they gathered the data from the "withholding agents"... ergo... the schools at which he teaches.

Which is strange, because, working at a school, my taxes are automatically withheld (kaya nga withholding agents). So either they didn't withhold taxes, which case, the employer is also liable, or the BIR is trying to hit him with double jeopardy.

This is going to be... interesting.

Walk the talk, BIR. But if it turns out that they have no case, this will be embarrassing.

I do not have mastery of tax law.. so I am not an expert... but from what I know.. basic yung due process... malinaw sa akin na our tax code provides for a procedure sa pag kolekta... LOA, LN... from assessment, presentation of docs, kung kailangan SDT... then PAN.. then FAN... after that.. aakyat ka sa office of the commissioner.. pag di sumagot ang commissioner.. akyat ka CTA (pero magbabayad ka na ng filing fee.. or parang naka bond na yung tax assessment)... lahat ng yan... part of due process... sige..

di malinaw sa akin.. kung pwede ba talaga na ma DOJ ka agad.. na yung specific issue they file for w/ DOJ, is hindi pa dumaan sa prosesong nabanggit sa taas... di ba that is somewhat a withholding of due process?

my stand on BIR has been the same:
- go public in how they run after their own... para makita ng public that may effort sila sa paglinis ng sistema nila sa loob.. hindi yung nililinis lang nila yung taumbayan na nagpapasahod din sa kanila

- go public in EDUCATING the taxpayers.. ang taxpayer na educated sa tax.. alam ang tamang compute sa maling compute... kadalasan ginagawa ng mga assessment, bloat their assessments pampataba ng makokolekta nila.. pampataba ng maibubulsa nila.. if the taxpayer himself knows the intricacies of tax computations.. hindi sya basta maloloko.. if the taxpayer knows his rights (due process.. procedures.. etc).. hindi sya basta mahaharrass ng kawani ng BIR..

case in point yung recent na pasabog ng isang former BIR employee against Comm. Henares.. na hindi daw allegedly pinapa kolekta ni Henares yung assessment sa GDI (Dunkin Donuts master franchise holder dito sa Pinas)... it was mentioned na rin ni Henares, na pina ulit nya assessment.. twice pa... that's also quite unique... twice nya pinaulit yung assessment (although we don't know ano ang basis kung bakit nagkaganun)... pero quite uncharacteristic of her... granted na pwede talaga pa ulit yung assessment... how many taxpayers know that ba? na pupuwedeng pa ulit yung assessment?

sa dulo kasi... ang habol ng BIR is COLLECTION.. di baleng masapawan masagasaan yung due process right ng mismong taxpayers.. importante.. makakolekta sila... now whether ipasok sa kaban ng bayan o sa bulsa nila is another long story worth debating...

now there are some cases now na natatalo na ang BIR sa CTA or Supreme Court... tipong binago ni Comm Henares yung procedure.. yung dating outright exempted... hindi exempted kailangan mag file pa ng kung ano ano para ma claim ang refund.. etc.. unti unti natatalo ang BIR.. pero those news are not carried by the mainstream media.. why? part siguro noong grant ng US is may PR budget ang BIR... kung ako din BIR maganda hindi malaman ng lahat.. kasi dadami ang makaka avail noon... therefore. mas mahirapan sila habulin ang target collection...

sa dulo... collection talaga...

Ang napansin ko na madalas nanghihingi ng lagay is yung mga examiner kapag may surveillance. Sobrang dali lang para sa kanila na arbitrarily sabihin na malaki ang kita mo kahit di naman. Kahit tama naman ang pagdeclare hahanap pa rin ng mga loopholes para lang may lagay. Minsan mas malaki pa yung lagay kesa dun sa mismong tax.

Common SOP for government at any level.

Once took a look at government contract bidding... only to realize why government spending has nearly stalled under the current admin. On the books and officially, play nice na... the projected pricing given for bidded contracts leaves very little wiggle room for suppliers and subcontractors. Matira matibay nalang.

And yet, the same old people are still playing the game under the table. Only now, giving the typical bribe can severely diminish what marginal net income you can make off the now properly priced contracts.

For me, the 180M could be put to better use. Kim Henares is right in getting people to pay the right taxes. But she should also rid her own backyard from parasites.

If proven guilty, incarcerate for life.

And most importantly, take back all the money that were stolen from the public coffers....

Damn!!! It has to hurt real bad to serve as warning to everyone....
