FILM director Carlo J. Caparas on Monday posted a bail of P80,000 before the Court of Tax Appeals for the four counts of tax evasion cases filed against him by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
The tax court’s First Division has set Caparas’ arraignment on June 22 for one count of tax case, while the arraignment for three counts of tax evasion is set on June 8 at the Second Division.
Last May 17, the Court of Tax Appeals issued an arrest warrant on the movie director after the Department of Justice filed the new set of tax evasion charges in April for his non-filing of his income tax return in 2008 to 2009.
The tax court indicted Caparas for violation of the National Internal Revenue Code.
Caparas was also accused of failing to declare his earnings for producing the “Ang Pangarap Kong Jackpot” television drama of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
