Subject: Re: RV Tax Issue : Updates to Juday and Doctors Author: mmJun [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:09:23 06/09/05 Thu Author Host/IP: 202.69.173.45 In reply to: music insidebuzz report 's message, "RV Tax Issue : Stars Meet Taxmen / Update!" on 14:30:01 06/02/05 Thu Tax Issue Updates: Juday Summoned/BIR ad unfair to doctors DOJ summons Juday on tax case The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday ordered Judy Ann Santos to appear before a preliminary investigation into the tax evasion case filed against her by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). State Prosecutor Olivia Tordesillas said Santos should be at DOJ building on June 16 at 2 p.m. Santos is expected to file her counteraffidavit to charges that she was deficient in paying her taxes from 2002 to 2003. The actress, who recently won best actress in the Urian Awards, is accused of underdeclaring by P6.7 million her income for 2002. Santos declared her earnings from ABS-CBN television network, Viva Productions and Star Cinema. But the BIR said the amount represented only 84.18 percent of the P8 million she was supposed to pay. The actress said she is willing to settle her tax deficiencies. -------------------- > BIR ad unfair to doctors First posted 01:11am (Mla time) June 10, 2005 Inquirer News Service Editor's Note: Published on page A16 of the June 10, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer THE BOARD of Regents of the Philippine College of Surgeons would like to express its deepest concern and disappointment regarding the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) advertisement (Inquirer, 4/7/05) depicting doctors as "pigs" and "tax evaders." We believe that as a responsible newspaper, the Inquirer should have considered the implications of the ad, especially as it denigrated one of the most respectable and noble professions in our country. Just like any other ordinary citizen or professional, physicians could also fall into occasional lapses from the payment of taxes, but such oversight does not make us "criminals" deserving of shabby and irresponsible treatment from the BIR and the Inquirer. The board feels that if the BIR really wanted to improve its tax collections, then it should just have consulted with us, or with the Philippine Medical Association, to clear plans on how to achieve its goal. We do agree that the government needs to collect taxes to finance its various programs. But it certainly does not need to publish unfair advertisements to achieve this objective. ARTURO S.
