Business expert claims that former BIR Commissioner hid their 1.2 trillion tax evasion case of Lucio Tan

Former internal audit manager of the Allied Bank, and business consultant claimed that former Commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Kim Henares, did not disclose to the public a tax evasion case amounting to more than a trillion pesos of Lucio Tan, Chairman of the aviation giant—Philippine Airlines PAL

PAL, the airline company that is exclusively using the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2, has been given by President Rodrigo Duterte an ultimatum to pay the debt it has accumulated to the government. According to the ultimatum, if PAL did not pay its debts, it would to the closure of terminal 2.

In November, PAL paid an amount of almost six billion pesos to the Chief Accountant of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). The said airline company then paid another check worth 258, 594, 230.33 pesos to the Assistant General Manager for Finance and Administration of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA).

However, according to Dr. Danilo Pacana, PAL only paid a fraction of it really owed to the government. Pacana claimed that PAL owes the government over 1.2 Trillion pesos worth of taxes.

He then implies that the reason why such a tax evasion of this magnitude did not reach the public and did not proceed is because of former BIR Commissioner Henares.

“Dismayado doon ako sa BIR, kay BIR Commissioner Kim Hinares na tinago niya yung kaso ni Lucio Tan sa buong bayan. May narinig ba kayong sinabi ni Kim Henares na may 1.2 Trillion tax evasion case si Lucio Tan? Wala.”

Pacana accordingly revealed this particular accusation so that it would reach the current BIR Commissioner Cesar Dulay and in consequence, play a role in making sure that Lucio Tan will pay his debts in total.
