In another surprise move by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, a request was sent to the NTC and ISPs to block several international websites for failure to remit proper taxes from operating within the Philippine internet domain.
A copy of the letter was sent to the National Telecommunications Commission to demand ISPs to block access to certain social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter for failure to submit tax declarations from their operations in the Philippines.
Facebook and Twitter are among the top destinations of Filipinos with the country being dubbed as the social media capital of the world.
BIR Commissioner Kim Henares estimates about Php350USD 6INR 506EUR 6CNY 43 million have been transacted thru Facebook and Twitter since 2009 when they became popular in the Philippines and started offering advertising.
“The Bureau has been monitoring Facebook and Twitter for the last three fiscal years. It is within our authority to look into their operation and request the proper agencies like NTC to block them if they do not cooperate…“, Comm. Henares added.
The BIR has a target collection of Php1.46USD 0.02INR 2EUR 0.02CNY 0.18 Trillion for the year 2014 and it has already missed its targets in January. Seeking out new avenues to increase their collections has been a strategy of the bureau for the past couple of years.
The NTC has yet to act on the request of BIR. PLDT and Globe refused to comment on the matter.

migx says:
Woah you got me there… April Fools…lol…
But in Vietnam (am planning to work there) they actually do block Facebook and other social networks due to tax issues, as I’ve found doing research.
BiRHater says:
What is Kim Henares smoking?
emignatius says:
Ahhh! I fell for it! LOL
eric jay says:
i laud the efforts and programs of bir to increase tax remittances, going after those tax evaders among others, but blocking social media sites, facebook seriously? are you out of your darn mind commissioner? just because of entities transacting their business on sites like facebook you’ll block it? maybe you need to rethink about blocking facebook, and devise ways, pass laws in getting taxes through online selling to get those missed taxes. remember no one owns the internet, vpn exists, paid and for free, their will be someone who will find ways to bypass that. that block request is just plain ludicrous. its 21st century and to quote michael crichton “Whether you see the world as emergent or, deteriorating. We have long known that some people favor innovation and look positively toward the future while others are frightened of change and want to halt innovation.”
denizvoi says:
people not only transact thru facebook… facebook accept payments from some of pinoy who wants to advertise in facebook… you may see some of the posts with “sponsored” mark. It means, someone pays facebook to promote it…
eric jay says:
oh, missed that point. thanks for adding. though its an april fools joke, who knows the bir might come up with this idea.

roger cuenca says:
Many Filipino users of Facebook and Twitter does not know that these social media companies is earning a lot (billions of dollars worldwide)from advertisements. Kim Henares is correct. Our country must benefit for using those sites. Remember Philippines is the “selfie” capital of the world and the owners of Facebook and twitter are happy about it.
Boyong says:
Joke man o hindi Kim H. = GAGO
Bir says:
This is not a joke. Persons, including foreign corporations are liable for tax if operating performing business operations within the Philippines.
Pope spoon says:
Don’t give those cockroaches in the BIR any more ideas. Joke or not

always collecting but not even utilizing our taxes well. Palaging pumupunta sa bulsa nang ibang tao. It happens all the time for years now. tsk

Correct, sa bulsa lang nila napupunta ang pinagpaguran ng tao
jimboy says:
On a serious note, I realize that a small lowly employee like me pays 1/10,000,000 of the target collection every year woah. My net take home pay is c.33k every month. I pay a 6 figure tax every year dahil dami bonuses and our company is very compliant with regard to taxes.
That just goes to show that what this stupid govt agency needs is efficiency and to go after them bigger fishes. Putsa makikita mo ung ibang dambuhalang corporation may mga tax holiday at credit pa. And fyi mas malaki pa ata annual tax ko kay Bong Revilla. Lol
Lagi na lang nilang tinatarget tayong mga mamamayan. Tsk3
Cooljackz says:
I don’t know kung ang gusto mo express eh ung pagkadismaya mo sa gobyerno or gusto mo lang pagyabang ang sahod mo…
mas ma-angas ung 33k mo na net pay per month at ang six figure tax na binabayaran mo annually…
MasMayabang says:
call center ka ba? ako kasi programmer 50k lang naman yung take home ko….BOOM!
kamote says:
lol call center ka tapos 33k lang.. saka yung programmer na yan kunyari lang yan pulubi lang din yan
Druce says:
lol. it was the P350Mil that gave it away. too small. haha. good job. napatingin ako e
ME says says:
Well I hope they pursue it, because its the right thing to do. Those owners really makes a lot of billions from advertisements. You have to understand that they want to tax the owners operators and not the users, even if they tax them facebook will still be a free site, so i don’t understand why people are so upset about it. Since they are the ones who will benefit from these tax collections.
Lezaj says:
Pag nagbayad ng tax ang Facebook, hindi na rin free ang facebook, lalagyan na nila yan ng payment inbox, hindi na maka create ng account free, meron man free pero limited like other site na pag di ka nagbabayad ay hindi mo mababasa ang comment kung hindi bayad. Ganyan ang mngyayari.

Bong says:
check the article tag guys before you believe it.
Muy says:
If Philippine companies advertise, shouldn’t they be witholding tax already before they pay vendor? I think this should be the case. The problem with BIR at times is they say that they had been tracking for X number of years but why are they just going after this people now?
Also isn’t this some kind of ploy to block facebook since netizens use this as an avenue to show their issues? There are billions of websites that make money off Filipinos but why are they just targeting two. And if ever they do block every website there is, what the use of having the internet.
BIR IS JUST PLAIN STUPID!
Lezaj says:
Correct, kaya ng may internet provider kasi sa internet provider sila nagbabayad, so ang lahat ng provider ang dapat magbayad ng tax which is always paying their taxes naman. Kahit naman ako ang may ari ng Facebook, bait ako mgbabayad ng tax sa BIR kung bayad ako sa provider??? NGA NGA

Why is this government focusing on tax collection rather than focusing to change this country to be a better place? officials are all the same they don’t love our country instead they love money.
Neo says:
I AGREE. Our government only loves money that’s why they are into politics. Good speech to promise people.. After that, wala na. You just use your position and power for money and you don’t give a damn what is happening to our country. You only focus on money and revenge.

Hasn’t it crossed your mind that they’re already paying taxes wherever they are based? If this happens, Aren’t you “double taxing” them?
iamtheroot says:
There is such a thing as double taxation if you want to Google that. The problem here is Facebook, Apple, and other big tech companies have their main tax base in Ireland, which has accommodating corporate tax laws. They ought to be taxed in the Philippines where they earn from ads they post that convince you and other Filipinos to buy stuff. And yet somehow, they manage to pay less tax or even declare a loss for FB Philippine operations because of services rendered to Facebook Ireland.
So before people start complaining about losing access to Facebook and Twitter, people need to see the big picture about how these big corporations actually earn their money…. by avoiding paying tax where it is due, sadly through legal means.
