Suspected TAX EVASION - [Redacted][Organization] Owned by [Redacted][Name]

Requested from BIR by L. James at 10:37 AM on May 31, 2023.
Purpose: I urge you to investigate [Redacted][Organization] is paying appropriate TAX
Date of Coverage: 10/01/2021 - 05/29/2023
Tracking no: #BIR-691077573389

James 10:37 AM, May 31, 2023 

I am writing to tip a suspected case of tax evasion by a company named [Redacted][Organization] with an address: [Redacted][Address], a website: [Redacted][Website link], and its CEO [Redacted][Name].

As far as our source knows, the company has earned approximately 20 million Pesos in revenue over the past fiscal year, but has declared only between Ten Thousand to One Hundred Thousand Pesos on their income so they can manipulate their tax.

James 10:37 AM, May 31, 2023 

Additionally, our source said that [Redacted][Organization] doesn't have a company bank account, that all transactions are transferred to the company owner's personal bank account. By that, they don't have payroll thru ATM, employees are Paid thru CASH. With that being said, they can manipulate how much tax they want to declare which is a big violation on TAX EVASION.

[Redacted][Organization] is a company that operates within the BPO industry. To provide some context, BPO refers to Business Process Outsourcing, which involves contracting out certain business operations to third-party service providers.

As a responsible citizen, I believe it is important to bring this matter to your attention. Tax evasion is a serious offense and can have severe consequences not only for the company but also for the entire society.

I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly to ensure that [Redacted][Organization] is fulfilling its obligations and paying the appropriate amount of taxes. This will not only help to maintain a fair and equitable tax system but also send a strong message to others who may be considering tax evasion.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt action.
