The Makati City government on Monday said it has issued a closure order against Smart Communications Inc.'s main office for allegedly operating without a business permit since 2019 and for also allegedly failing to settle its P3.2-billion franchise tax deficiency.
“You are hereby commanded to cease and desist from further operating your business establishment until such time compliance with the said ordinance is made,” the Order read. Makati City Administrator Claro Certeza said they had requested Smart to submit a breakdown of revenues and business taxes paid in all branches nationwide, but the firm refused to present the documents.
GMA News Online has sought for the comment from Smart regarding the issue, but the telecommunications firm has yet to respond as of posting time.According to the Makati government, Smart filed a petition for review before the Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 133 in 2018 to seek the nullification of the Office of City Treasurer’s Notice of Assessment, which states that the company did not pay franchise tax.
