The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) is intensifying its crackdown on fake or ghost receipts, with Commissioner Romeo Lumagui, Jr. announcing that his office will be auditing the buyers of these receipts.
Notices will be served by the National Task Force – Run After Fake Transactions (RAFT) to buyers who continuously patronize these illegal activities, according to the commissioner.
“I always want to level the playing field of our taxpayers. I have filed cases against the sellers and certified public accountants involved, the buyers of fake/ghost receipts will now be audited,” Lumagui said.
Criminal cases have already been filed against sellers and the CPA involved in the syndicate last March 16.
An administrative complaint for the revocation of license against the same CPA was also filed before the Professional Regulation Commission last March 21.
