Retired justice Carpio says the tax code is clear that willful refusal to pay the estate tax is criminal. 'Ano pa hinihintay ng BIR?' PHVote PHVoteMarcos WeDecide
MANILA, Philippines – As Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr evades questions on his family’s P203 billion estate tax debt, his supporters muddle the discussion by spreading false claims about Philippine tax laws if only to defend the non-payment.
When Ingles initially tweeted this comment, he was mocked as an “instant lawyer.” Ingles is the 2012 Bar topnotcher, teaches tax law at the Ateneo Law School, and authored a tax law reviewer used by students.The Supreme Court in 1997 ordered the Marcoses to pay P23 billion in estate tax, an amount that is estimated to have reached P203 billion now because of surcharge, penalties and interest.
The most that the Marcos camp has said about this was a March 3 statement from spokesperson Vic Rodriguez who said Presidential Commission on Good Government and BIR had agreed to hold collection as they continue litigation of properties.confirmedOn the sidelines of a sortie in Cavite on March 22, Marcos walked away from an interview after a journalist asked him if his family has paid this estate tax.
“Under Section 255 of the tax code, if you are legally obliged to pay the tax and you willfully refuse to pay the tax, you are criminally liable up to ten years imprisonment. That’s why I am saying, if the BIR, if it wants to now, can file a criminal case and I think it’s time,” said Carpio in the Thursday 1Sambayan forum., that is the last thing they can do,” said Carpio.
