MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Wednesday filed criminal cases against corporate officers, accounting firms, and accountants who allegedly bought ghost receipts resulting in a total of P17.9 billion in tax liability. According to Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr., who led the filing of the cases, the accused were clients of a syndicate that registered ghost companies to sell original receipts to buyers who aimed to illegally reduce their tax liabilities. 'The BIR has filed criminal cases against Buyers of Fake/Ghost Receipts, their corporate officers, the accounting firms they engaged, and the CPAs that signed their Documents,' said Lumagui.
