MANILA, Philippines — Senator Raffy Tulfo questioned the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs on Tuesday as to why it chose to target online sellers rather than big-time oil smugglers.
During the Senate committee on ways and means hearing, Tulfo disclosed that he had received complaints from a content creator and an online seller. They told him that BIR agents had gone to their homes to inquire about their tax payments.“If we are really serious in collecting revenues to maximize the state revenues, is it better if we would concentrate on the big fishes, not on some small fry?” he questioned.
“I said that dahil barya-barya lang po ang kinikita ng mga vlogger, especially online seller, and alam naman po natin during pandemic, these are the people na nag-survive, providing for the family, nag-diskarte para kumita,” he went on.
