‘Retailers must seek BIR help on bogus tax stamps’

Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez 3rd said retailers should seek the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) assistance to know if the tobacco products they are selling bear genuine or fake tax stamps.

“They can call the BIR, they have a way to check, they have devices to check,” Dominguez told reporters on Wednesday when asked to comment on the concerns of cigarette retailers.
