THE BUREAU of Internal Revenue (BIR) is in a surprisingly merry mood these days. The reason could be one of three things:
1) the nearing yuletide season;
2) the P9.45 billion increase in revenue collection as of August 2014 compared to August 2013;
3) the P62 billion worth of tax evasion cases filed in the courts as of July 2014.
