Mommy D questions BIR tax assessment



Dionisia Pacquiao leaves the Court of Tax Appeals after testifying in a case she filed against the BIR yesterday. MICHAEL VARCAS
MANILA, Philippines – The mother of boxing icon and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao yesterday appeared before the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) to testify on the civil case that she filed against the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Dionisia Pacquiao, popularly known as Mommy D, took the witness stand to testify on the veracity of the contents of her judicial affidavit.
The Pacquiao matriarch is questioning the tax assessment of BIR Revenue Region No. 18 amounting to P1.6 million, which she supposedly failed to pay in 2010.
Her lawyers said her judicial affidavit would prove that she was not accorded due process during the assessment conducted by the tax-collecting agency.
They claimed that she did not receive a notice on the preliminary tax assessment of the BIR.
During cross-examination, lawyer Katrina Muli, who represented the BIR, asked if Pacquiao had informed the agency that she changed her address.

Pacquiao’s lawyers also disputed a claim that she had a certification saying that she did not file her income tax return in 2010.
In an earlier interview, she questioned the assessment, claiming she has no job and that she is merely relying on financial support from her son.
The Sarangani lawmaker and his wife Jinkee have also filed a case before the CTA asking for a review of the BIR assessment that they have a tax liability of around P2.2 billion from the boxer’s winnings and endorsements.
