This translates to an average of P85.7 billion a year from 1998 to 2002, the National Tax Research Center (NTRC) said yesterday.


According to the NTRC, individual fixed-income earners have been faithfully paying their taxes, but the same could not be said for corporations or professional and self-employed individuals.

                    [Summary] => The government has lost nearly P430 billion in a span of five years from fiscal leaks in corporate and individual income tax administration.


This translates to an average of P85.7 billion a year from 1998 to 2002, the National Tax Research Center (NTRC) said yesterday.


According to the NTRC, individual fixed-income earners have been faithfully paying their taxes, but the same could not be said for corporations or professional and self-employed individuals.
