/ 03:03 AM September 19, 2015

THE BUREAU of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Thursday closed down nine shops in Tondo, Manila, due to unpaid taxes totaling about P25 million.

In a statement, the BIR identified the nine establishments, all located along Santo Cristo Street, as ADD 1 Enterprise, BS Exponent Ville Marketing, Evertrix Enterprises, JPC Candy Shoppe Inc., Lorex Bazar Company, MKY General Merchandise, WBT Pharmacy & General Merchandise, YUSUN Inc., and ZYX Enterprises.

These establishments substantially underdeclared their correct taxable sales or receipts, in violation of the Tax Code or the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997 as amended, the BIR said.
