In the official statement of BIR regional director Amora said, “We intend to vigorously pursue cases against taxpayers with tax arrears or unpaid taxes. Make no mistake about it, we will collect the taxes due from these taxpayers and hale them to court if they give us no choice. Unpaid taxes stall delivery of government services, retard progress and development and eventually, impede nation-building.”
BIR also confirmed that these six delinquent taxpayers have obstinately failed or refused to pay their long overdue deficiency taxes, despite repeated demands and exhaustion of administrative remedies.
