Is BIR afraid to step in a wet market?





Tabo-an, Cebu city. June 02, 2008, 3:34pm.

It was our last day in Cebu since we have finished our main concern in my previous school when I and my mom decided to bring some dried foods for our relatives in Cagayan de Oro City. We bought dried foods worth more than 4,000.00 pesos. We waited for the receipts and as we ask their telephone numbers and some information so that the next time we will be able to visit Cebu they will be the one we can contact but to our dismay they can’t provide or issue receipts. But they trust some information we ask from them. My mother was really a texter of the BIR’s promo “premyo sa resibo.” She was really thinking for a big loss for she can’t join the promo because we haven’t got any receipts from them. Next was we had asked them about the length of years selling dried foods, the lady who works in a dried foods store said more than 5 years. That’s a big loss for the government. Are they exempted on paying taxes? Or paying some personnel to operate and be exempted in paying taxes? You know this seems to be unfair to those businessmen who are paying the exact taxes for their business. Why operate a business illegally? Imagine making money in a proper way, not scared of any one who might catch you, can have sweet and soundly sleep in every night and many more benefit. Why not doing it legally for you’re your kids and your family's future? For the authority, we should do our obligation fairly. They should double check both small and huge tax paying businesses and every establishment, doing it regularly can reduce such problems. And if they want their office will not be issued politically might as well they do good and clean back jobs into reformed process.
