The BIR is undertaking various enforcement activities to check the compliance on tax laws and regulations by taxpayers including the innovative computer matching using computerized matching on information/data provided by the Sellers/Buyers/Importers and Withholding Tax Agents and Payees/Income Recipients against declarations per INCOME / VAT / Percentage/ Withholding Tax returns.

This will result to discrepancies based on filed returns by taxpayers, hence, investigation and verification shall be undertaken by the BIR. It has been the experience of many taxpayers that in many instances tax deficiencies are asserted by Revenue Examiners on tax returns audited by them. Examiners frequently assert deficiencies that are ultimately determined to be due.

Taxpayers can better protect their rights under Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights; Avoid stiffer penalties and help in the determination of their correct tax liabilities if they know how to handle tax audit and investigation.This is also very beneficial to accountants, auditors, lawyers and other accounting firms so they can make the best decision in counseling their clients, bearing in mind that a business decision that does not seriously take taxes into consideration can have disastrous results.

DON’T BE AFRAID WHEN A BIR EXAMINER VISITS YOU. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!
