The Department of Justice has been asked to prosecute an importer of luxury cars, an automotive fuel retailer in Angeles City and a Quezon City-based trading company for failure to pay taxes due to the government.
In its first complaint, the Bureau of Internal Revenue accused Rolando Cuevas, who is the sole proprietor of Monacat Trading in Biñan, Laguna, of willful attempt “to evade or defeat the payment of taxes as well as deliberately failed to file his income tax return for taxable year 2015” in violation of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997.
Monacat Trading is also engaged in the importation of luxury cars.
The BIR said the BoC informed its probers that Cuevas through his trading company imported 20 luxury cars last year, but upon verification with the BIR’s Biñan Revenue District Office, they found out that the respondent failed to file his income tax return.
The agency added that Cuevas concealed his income for taxable year 2015 amounting to P64.43 million.
The BIR also filed a complaint of tax evasion against Arleen San Miguel Lansangan for failure to file any ITRs and willful attempt to defeat the payment of taxes for taxable years 2010, 2011 and 2012 despite certification from PTT Philippines Corp. showing that she purchased fuel amounting to P107.98 million, P70. 14 million and P11.91 million from 2010 to 2012.
Lansangan owns and operates the Cutud Fuel Filling Station located at Magalang Road, Brgy. Cutud, Angeles City in Pampanga.
Lansangan underdeclared her taxable sales by 9.36 percent or P9.29 million in 2010, 100 percent of P72.63 million in 2011 and P12.06 million in 2012, BIR said.
“As a consequence of her acts and omissions, Lansangan was assessed an estimated aggregate deficiency income tax liability amounting to P72.13 million, broken down as follows, P6.40 million for 2010, P57.09 million for 2011 and P8.64 million for 2012,” the complaint alleged.
Another Pampanga-based automotive fuel retailer was also charged by the BIR for the same offense.
The BIR also charged Analiza San Miguel David for failing to supply correct information on her ITR for 2010 and willfully attempted to defeat the payment of taxes for taxable years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
David owns and operates 136 Dolores Fuel Filling Station located at 136, Dolores, Magalang, Pampanga.
The BIR said David also sourced her station’s fuel requirements from PTTPC which certified that they have sold to her amounting to P93.80 million, P90.68 million and P12.72 million for taxable years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
Despite having made the said transactions, the BIR said David underdeclared her taxable sales by P6.86 million in 2010, P93.37 million in 2011 and P12.87 million in 2012.
“As a consequence of her acts and omissions, David was assessed an estimated aggregate deficiency income tax liability amounting to P87.36 million broken down into P4.71 million for 2010, P73.41 million for 2011 and P9.23 million for 2012,” the BIR said.
The BIR also sued FDI Forefront II Trading Corporation and its president, Joseph Derrick Yambao, for willful failure to pay taxes for taxable year 2006.
FDI Forefront whose business address is ayt Baesa, Quezon City is engaged in wholesale and retail distribution of goods, products and merchandise.
The BIR assessed Forefront and Yambao a total deficiency tax liability amounting to P416.24 million, broken down into P244. 64 million in income tax, P171.71 million in value added tax, P44. 492.05 on documentary stamp tax on loan payable and P22,246.03 for documentary stamp tax for capital gains.
