Pacquiao camp denies BIR’s claim of P2.65B tax debt

THE camp of Manny Pacquiao on Saturday denied the claim of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) that he has accumulated tax debts amounting to P2.65 billion since 2008.

A highly reliable source in the Pacquiao camp, who refused to be named because he is not authorized to speak on the issue, said the boxing champ’s tax lawyers in the United States have settled his obligations with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
