BIR chief heaps
blame on Teves |
|
Internal Revenue Commissioner Jose Mario Buñag on Wednesday blamed
poor tax collection for the first quarter of 2007 to taxes paid in
advance, mostly on the request of Finance Secretary Margarito
Teves.
“Such advance payments were
made by various taxpayers upon the personal calls and requests made,
as is well-known in the BIR [Bureau of Internal Revenue], by no
less than Finance Secretary Margarito B. Teves himself to the
President/CEOs of taxpayers,” a statement released by the Office
of the BIR Commissioner said.
