Contractors to face Congress for failing to pay right taxes

The Congressional Committee on Good Governance and Public Accountability will soon summon several government contractors to explain why they paid so little tax, while others did not file at all, in the previous years.

Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone, a member of the committee, said he had the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) records of these unscrupulous contractors who, despite cornering juicy contracts from various government agencies, only paid measly amount of taxes which are not commensurate to their earnings.
