BIR chief denied access to SC justices’ SALN

Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares suffered another blow from the Supreme Court (SC) when it denied her motion for reconsideration to give her a copy of the Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN) of justices of the tribunal, as well as those of the Court of Appeals and Court of Tax Appeals.

During the en banc, the SC moved to protect the judiciary against possible harassment from the BIR commissioner by rejecting Henares’ plea.
