BIR files P121.4M tax evasion raps vs. 3 Caloocan companies

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Wednesday filed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) tax evasion complaints against three taxpayers in Caloocan City who owe the government P121.47 million in unpaid taxes.

In the first complaint, the BIR accused Marilyn San Luis, sole proprietor of Aerostar Industrial Supply, of violating Section 255 of the Tax Code for alleged failure to pay tax deficiencies amounting to P3.62 million for 2011.

The BIR is also running after P61.82 million in unpaid taxes for 2012 from Chonta Industrial Packaging, Inc. (CIPI) and its assistant managing director Arlyn Mazo.

CIPI is engaged in the manufacture of goods. Its major clients include Hilmarc’s Construction Corp.; Rockwell Land Corp.; DMConsunji, Inc.; and Eco Resort Development Corp.

The third complaint, meanwhile, is against Well-Pack Container Corporation (WCP) and its president, Manuel Jamera.

WCP, a company engaged in the manufacture of containers and boxes of papers, was assessed with a tax liability of P56.03 million from January 1, 2015 up to June 30, 2015.

The BIR said the respondents were served notices of the tax liabilities but failed to either protest or to submit additional documents to refute said assessments, thus making them "final, executory, and demandable." — MDM, GMA News
