(Mula sa 400 firms na may P604-M na tax liabilities) 390K PERFUME BOTTLES NAKUMPISKA

MAHIGIT sa 390,000 bote ng pabango ang nakumpiska ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) sa nationwide perfume at toilet water enforcement operations sa mahigit 400 establisimiyento na may P604.3 million na tax liabilities. 

Sa isang statement, sinabi ng BIR na ang nationwide raid ay isinagawa noong September 27 at 28, 2023.

“Four hundred plus factories, warehouses, and stores containing 390,000+ bottles of perfume and toilet water were raided by the BIR for violating excise tax regulations.

Big or small, every business has to comply with Excise Tax regulations,” wika nj BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr.

Nakasaad sa Revenue Regulations No. 9-2023 na, “every person, whether individual or juridical entity, who intends to engage in business as a manufacturer, producer, or brand owner availing the services of a toll manufacturer, subcontractor, or import-dealer of perfumes and toilet waters shall file an application in writing for a permit to engage in such business with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue through his duly authorized representative.”

“Whether the individual or entity is a local manufacturer or producer, brand owners engaging importers, or toll manufacturers or subcontractors, permits should be secured from the excise LT (Large Taxpayer) regulatory division,” ayon pa sa BIR.

Ang permit para makapag-operate para sa excise tax purposes ay isang hiwalay na requirement mula sa BIR Certificate of Registration.

“The manufacturer, importer, owner, or person having possession of the excisable articles can be made liable for lack of permit to operate, failure to file certain information returns, and or unlawful possession or removal of articles subject to excise tax without payment of the tax under the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended,” dagdag pa ng ahensiya
