BIR PENALTIES

Sir tanung ko lang since january this year po kasi hindi kami nag pasa ng EWT as well as VAT. Okay lang po kaya na magbabayad po kami lahat this coming september or this year end na lang po?

di ho puwede. every month iyan. if ganyan gawin mo na by year end na lang magbayad, me penalty kau every month like 25% surcharge on the basic tax, 20% interest on the basic tax din at ang 20% is per annum iyan kaya kung 1 month late icompute mo na lang na 1/12. at me compromise penalties. usually ito din ang malaki based on the revised schedule of compromise penalties na naissue ng bir per their revenue regulation.

ang reason behind this is ganito- di ba ang taxes are the lifeblood of our nation? na every minute ng existence ng government natin, they need money to defray the cost of supporting our governmental operation? since 80-85% of their money are sourced from taxes, paano na lang kung lahat ng tao, magdecide na sige, december na lang ako magbayad para sa january to december vat at ewt ko. ayaw ko muna magbayad. kaso ang sweldo ng government employees natin, di puwede isahin e. hindi puede sabihin sa pamilya nila na " anak, wag ka muna magkain. december ka na lang kumain kasi ang mga taxpayers natin, december pa magbayad e." ... o kaya ang daan natin or roaad projects, isahin na lang natin sementuhin at gawain this december. kasi december pa magbyad ang mga taxpayers.. di ba detrimental masyado s government natin?

ang moral lesson of the story is dapat kung kailan iyan mag due, doon mo bayaran. if di ka pa makabayad within their due dates, expect harsh and excessive penalties.

what if hindi po nakapag-file kasi wala po akong babayaran. Ngayon lang po nalaman na kahit wala pong transaction kailangan po ng filing for compliance. may sinasabi po kasing compromise na babayaran which is P500.00 per return per month. Tama po ba un? Ano po yung the best na pwede pong gawin? Thank you.
