The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has filed a tac evasion case against one of its employees who owns a software management company.
BIR Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui, Jr. said the agency's employee manipulated the point of sales accounting machines (POS) of his clients to evade taxes.
He said the case was filed before the Department of Justice but the name of the respondent was not disclosed.
The initial estimated revenue loss from the tampered sales machines is over P6 billion.
The BIR chief also requested the Department of Finance (DOF) to terminate the respondent's employment.
Lumagui emphasized that he wants to protect the institution and all employes in the revenue service, but corrupt employes who fail to uphold the BIR's code of ethics will not be tolerated.
