THE DEPARTMENT of Justice (DoJ) has filed tax fraud charges against a corporation, its officers and accountant for using fictitious receipts and invoices.
In a statement, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla affirmed the agency’s hard stance against tax evaders.
“We cannot simply tolerate tax evaders,” he said. “The filing of cases is a welcome development in our fight against tax evasion. More cases are expected to be filed in the coming days.”
A panel of prosecutors filed before a Quezon City court one count each of tax evasion, willful failure to supply correct and accurate information in income tax return, and four counts of willful failure to supply correct and accurate information in quarterly VAT returns against the corporation and its two officers.
The accountant was charged with one count of creating false entries, records, or reports before the court. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana
