The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) discovered a popular entrepreneur who’s known for flexing their income on social media was not paying taxes at all.
BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. disclosed that the agency raided three warehouses owned by the entrepreneur after finding that their beauty product business was not registered.
Lumagui said they’re already preparing to file charges against the entrepreneur, who’s currently in hiding.
The commissioner also hinted that the entrepreneur was known for boasting that they were earning billions.
“Sana ‘yung mga nagnenegosyo ng ganyan, ‘yung mga nagpe-flex sa social media na bilyon bilyon ang kinikita e ang dami na nating ganyan, sinasabi palang bata palang eto na ang kinikita, bilyonaryo na pero hindi nagbabayad ng buwis,” said Lumagui.
For now, Lumagui has refused to name the entrepreneur.
Some netizens tried to guess the said individual’s identity, saying that there were only a few people known for flexing their income.
