The
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Kris Aquino have a lot of explaining to do
about her being the country’s number one income taxpayer.
First:
Does this mean that SHE EARNED MORE than Henry Sy Sr. Lucio Tan and the other billionaires
in the country?
I have
not seen or heard of any company or group of companies owned by Kris, solely or
in partnership with others, which earn more than Sy’s SM mall chain or his Banco
de Oro and other big businesses. Or Tan’s
Allied/PNB bank and Asia Brewery. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.
So how much
did Kris earn compared to Sy, Tan and the other billionaires?
Since
she’s the supposed number one individual taxpayer, that means Kris earned more
than what the billionaires earned from their companies. How could this be?
Were the
sources of and incomes declared by Kris 100 percent accurate and totally
legitimate? Was any probe conducted to determine the accuracy and legitimacy?
Since
she paid more taxes than the billionaires, the assumption now is Kris in the league
of the richest of the rich.
If Kris
or the BIR will say she is, where is she getting her money?
Apart from not
having any known multi-million or multi-billion business or businesses, the only
known big sources of income of Kris are TV and movie appearances and
commercials
If she’s
not yet among the richest of the rich, why is Kris paying a lot more taxes than
the billionaires?
Sy, dubbed
the richest man in
the Philippines by Forbes magazine, paid only P16.58 million in income
tax. Tan, the second richest, paid only P10.78.
For BIR Commissioner Kim Henares, she should give a DETAILED JUSTIFICATION
why the billionaires are not among the country’s top 10 taxpayers.
The billionaires
have ALWAYS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED as billionaires.
Their sources of their billions
have always been visibile, like: Lucio
Co’s chain of Puregold supermarkets, George Ty’s Metrobank and Tony Tan
Caktiong’s Jollibee.
As far
as I can remember, Kris has NEVER BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A BILLIONAIRE.
Who computed
the tax liabilities of the billionaires?
Why are these SO LOW compared to that of Kris and known business
executives from various companies?
WHO approved
the highly-suspicious income tax liabilities of the billionaires? On what
grounds?
Whatever
replies will be given to these queries, one thing’s for sure:
INSTEAD
of being pictured simply as a law-abiding citizen even though she’s a presidential
sister, Kris has just been thrown into an UNFATHOMABLE DEPTH of suspicion by
the press that she’s the country’s top individual taxpayer.30
