Late last year, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) ordered additional sectors to use electronic (eBIR) forms and imposed a P1,000 penalty per return, as well as a 25% surcharge should the required taxpayers fail to comply. Also just a few months ago, the BIR clearly demonstrated its intent to enforce tax compliance when it pressed tax evasion charges against online shopping sites for allegedly failing to declare correct taxes.
