06 November 2014 Two Manila-based delinquent taxpayers charged with willful failure to pay tax The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) today filed separate criminal complaints with the Department of Justice against two (2) delinquent taxpayers from Manila - one (1) individual and one (1) corporate (including its responsible corporate officers) - for Willful Failure to Pay Taxes under the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended (Tax Code). Charged for violating Section 255 of the Tax Code was LUISA G. CHUAHIONG (CHUAHIONG). She is engaged in general merchandising under the name and style EL’A COMMERCIAL with business address at N0. 1550 Bambang St., Sta. Cruz, Manila. CHUAHIONG was sued for deficiency tax liabilities for taxable year 2007 in the aggregate amount of P4.12 million, inclusive of increments, consisting of P2.33 million in Income Tax (IT), P1.79 million in Value Added Tax (VAT), and Expanded Withholding Tax (EWT) - P1,940.00. Likewise charged for violating Section 255 in relation to Sections 256 and 253 of the Tax Code were BUILDERS MACROSYSTEM TECHNOLOGY, INC. (BUILDERS) and its responsible corporate officers - President BERNARDO M. TERROBIAS and Treasurer JUANITA A. TERROBIAS. BUILDERS is a domestic corporation with business address at No. 826 Matimyas cor. Ibarra Sts., Sampaloc, Manila. It is engaged in the business of general construction, including the constructing, repairing, developing or engaging in any work upon buildings, houses and condominium, roads, plants, bridges, airfields, piers, waterworks, railroads and other structures. BUILDERS and its responsible corporate officers were assessed deficiency tax liabilities for taxable year 2009 in the sum of P7.58 million, inclusive of increments, broken down as follows: IT - P6.13 million; and VAT - P1.45 million. BIR Manila records of investigation showed that the abovementioned respondents were served the requisite Final Assessment Notices (FAN) and Formal Letters of Demand (FLD) with Details of Discrepancies but failed to protest said assessments, hence making the same final, executory, and demandable. The subsequent issuance of Preliminary Collection Letters, Final Notices Before Seizure, Warrants of Distraint and/or Levy, Warrants of Garnishment and Demands Before Suit were ignored by the respondents, as the said tax assessments remained unpaid. The respondents’ obstinate failure and continued refusal to pay their long overdue deficiency tax assessments, despite repeated demands, constitute willful failure to pay the taxes due to the government. The cases against LUISA G. CHUAHIONG, and BUILDERS MACROSYSTEM TECHNOLOGY, INC. & its responsible corporate officers are the 311th and 312th, respectively, filed under the RATE program of the BIR under the leadership of Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares. These are likewise RATE cases of Revenue Region No. 6, Manila. (reytdlc)
