Tax chief Kim Henares denies news reports quoting her as saying 90% of professionals evade taxes. In a Rappler interview Thursday, Henares says the story came out after the Bureau of Internal Revenue published an ad encouraging professionals to pay their taxes. She says she does not have exact statistics on non-compliance, but corrects reports quoting her as saying the bureau should be collecting an annual average of P100,000 from professionals.Malacañang says the ad is part of Tax Watch, “a campaign by the Department of Finance (DOF) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue [which] publishes weekly lists of individual and non-individual taxpayers.” The tax chief earns a reputation for heading a name-and-shame campaign against tax evaders. Credit rating agencies also cite improved collections under her term. Henares says the bureau increased its revenue last year by 14%, but missed their target by P8 billion.
