Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Caesar Dulat said his agency welcomes its inclusion in the anti-corruption investigation to be conducted by the Department of Justice (DoJ).
“It (anti-graft probe) is a welcome move as it will assist us with our continuing effort to rid BIR of the remaining ‘bad eggs,’ the officials and employees and examiners who still continue with their corrupt practices,” Dulay was quoted as saying in a statement released by the tax bureau on Thursday.
He added that the BIR will fully cooperate with the probe. Dulay also said some people manning the agency could still be prone to corruption, and that was where Justice investigators could come in and help.
In a taped speech aired on Tuesday, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the DoJ to look into the alleged corruption in all government agencies, starting with the Philippine Health Insurance Corp., Bureau of Customs, BIR, Department Public Works and Highways, and Land Registration Authority.
Going forward, the tax agency said it “continues to collect and hit by sheer team effort” its adjusted revenue goal despite the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic crisis’ impact to taxpayers.
The BIR was tasked to collect P1.686 trillion in revenue this year, a downward adjustment from the earlier target of P1.744 trillion.
In January to September, the tax bureau’s cumulative collection of P1.444 trillion posted a 9.91- percent reduction from last year’s performance, but was 10.19-percent wider than the revised program of P1.310 trillion set for the nine-month period.
