Government offers 1 Million reward for reporting tax-evading influencers

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Tax expert and former Bureau of Internal Revenue examiner Mon Abrea said not many people know about the reward they could possibly get for being an informant or tipping authorities about tax evaders. 

Informer's reward: given to a person who will report suspected individuals or businesses violating tax laws. The reward is a sum equivalent to 10% of the surcharges, revenues, or fees recovered, and/or fine or penalty imposed and collected, or P1 million per case, whichever is lower.

Subject to 10% final withholding tax which shall be withheld by the government.

Milyon milyon ang tax na mabubulsa nila sa mga content creators kaya iyang 1m na pabuya na iyan, balato na lang nila iyan sa informant. Lol.

Yung mga kaibigan kong milyones ang kinikita dyan. Bigyan ninyo na lang ako ng kahit magkano at hindi ko na kayo isusumbong. Lol!

“Social media influencers” include those individuals who generate income for service as bloggers and vloggers from any online sites such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat, etc.

So paano po magreport? Itatag ko ba dito lahat ng influencer?

Now na po ba? Banat By, Mocha Uson, Michael Troy a.k.a. Sass Rogando Sasot, Ttinking Pinoy, Harry Roque!

Tapos kapag mali ang report, makakasuhan po ba kami? Thanks for pushing and endorsing Squealer Culture in the Philippines. 

Parang ang lalang krimen kapag hindi ka nagbayad or nagdeclare ng tax pero yung mga corrupt ay chill chill lang. Ayusin nila muna mga gusot ng mga ahensya sa COA.

At anong mga proof ang need nila? Kapag hindi nila sinabi sa streaming nila na bayad na sila ng tax, pwede na namin ireport?

That's 1M of tax payers money. Maka 1M kala mo pera nila. They should work on cleaning up their deep rooted corruption issues first and strive for excellent service kesa hunting down civilians to get more tax money. Annoying.

Encouraging people to be a snitch kapalit ng pera. Scare tactic ng BIR para magregister ang mga influencer. Kung maayos lang sana ang gobyerno dito sa bansa natin ay okay lang mga ganyang tax. Pero mapupunta lang din sa bulsa ng mga kurap na opisyal. Pinapangshopping nila at ng pamilya nila ang tax na binabayad ng sambayanan.

Yung magrereport ng mga tax evaders pinaglaanan ng million na reward.. Paano nman ung mga corrupt sa ilang government agencies?? Habulin din naman dahil milyon din nakuha nila kagaya ng sa Philhealth na ni isa ay walang nakulong, ibinasura pa ang kaso dahil sa kakulangan daw ng ebidensya.

May reward din po ba kapag kurakot na opisyal ang sinumbong?  Mas marami yata kami maisusumbong na ganito eh. 

Scam yata ito? Magreport tapos bibigyan ka ng 1 million? Eh hindi ninyo nga maibigay risk allowance ng nurses na tig iilang libo lang, one million pa kaya? Duterte government talaga. Scammers!

Diyan sila magaling pero pagdating sa tulong para sa bawat Pilipino eh wala silang maibigay habang pandemya. Bakit hindi na lang ialay yung 1m na sinasabi nila (if ever totoo man) sa bawat Pilipino na higit na nangangailangan ng tulong, pagkain at suporta ngayong pandemya kaysa sa taong pwedeng magbigay ng tip sa inyo sa mga influencers.

Sila ang mag hanap kung gusto nila. Malamang pahirapan o hindi nila ibibigay ang reward. This administration cannot be trusted.

Why not report corrupt government employees instead? Yan, marami-rami, gaganahan pa kaming isuplong ang mga kurakot sa gobyerno.

How about 1M reward for reporting public officials that misused, misaligned, and deliberately stole public funds? Siyempre hindi ninyo gagawin kasi mauubos kayo diyan. The audacity! 

Especially government officials, get 1 million reward per corrupt. That is much better. Malamang ay wala ng empleyado sa gobyerno.

But how would you know if they did really evade taxes? Just a quick reminder fellow citizens before you point fingers to others make sure that you have evidence as well. 1 million na reward na yan ay kulang pa yan kapag kayo ang kinasuhan na nag-aakusa kayo. Kaya hinay hinay din.

Suggestion to BIR: Release a list of influencers who paid taxes then we'll report influencers we know who are not included in the list. Amount of taxes paid may not be included for confidentiality purposes na din sa kanila.

Before sana kayo mag-impose ng tax, sana pinag-aaralan nyo muna kung pa'no gamitin nang tama yung mga funds. Hindi yung ending e fina-flag ng COA yung mga government agencies dahil sa kaliwa't kanang korapsyon. Puro kayo singil ng buwis, wala naman kayong ginagawang tama para sa mga mamamayan ng Pilipinas. Mga inutil. 

Tapos kapag ahensya ng gobyerno ang may sala puro palusot.. Kasuya kayo.. Karamihan ng vlogger ngayon, sila yung rektang nakakatulong sa tao, hindi katulad sa gobyerno, pila, pagod, gutom puhunan sa halagang kakarampot samantalang galing sa kaban ng bayan.

Pwede din bang i-report ang presidenteng ayaw maglabas mg SALN?

Hindi ba dapat itry muna ng government to prove that they're not corrupt by providing proof of their alleged corruption from all the loss of money and loss of track of paid taxes from their other sectors before trying to get taxes from these vloggers/influencers?

I mean, gets ko yung pagkuha ng taxes from them and I have nothing against that. Gets ko din kung bakit against yung vloggers/influencers on doing so kasi before the gov't start doing so, shouldn't they think of what their reputation is for most of us Filipinos?

Ang point ko is, a government with such a huge amount of loss doesn't do the justice of seeking other ways to get taxes from.
