BIR closes 4 hotels, 2 restaurants in Boracay

Four hotels and two restaurants in Boracay were immediately shut by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) over tax charges.

In a statement, the BIR said that it “suspended operations” of the six establishments because some are not able to register as a value-added tax (VAT) taxpayer, and for “failure to pay and file VAT returns and failure to issue authorized receipts.”
