Comments Thread For: Pacquiao in Hot Water, Facing Criminal Tax Charges

[fabie]

There's nothing that he can't pay - with the unaccountable CHARITY that he has given to - those alone are tax shelters. And so Pac has neglected to pay his taxes but all he has to do is hire a team of accountants and lawyers to see how much he owes and just pay them cash...

[Eagle Eye]

All governments are corrupt and the Philippines may be the most corrupt because of the country being so poor but that's why it is funny that Pac who is so adored there, is in trouble with taxes. Sure it may not turn into Pac going to jail but the mere fact that he is filing bogus paper work should not be disregarded as nothing or Pac being politically targeted because if that was the case, then every celebrity who has tax problems would be a target politically. What Manny Pacquiao fans are not getting is that when it comes to taxes ALL governments want their money. Pac fans are making this out as some kind of conspiracy or something. It's a known fact that Pac ain't good with money and doesn't even know where his doe is or going and that's why he hired Vision Quest and then Arum had Pac fire them.

I also remember when some lady was stealing money from Pac because he didn't even know that he had a bank account in LA. Also, this is the same guy who took a suit case full of cash already being signed to another promotional company. When Floyd is put on blast for owning millions then all the Pac fans come in full swing to add their opinions, incite and tell other posters how it is but now Pac is in the hot seat and here they are defending him for doing dirt in his own country as a congressman. I have NO pity whatsoever for Pac, Floyd and whoever else has millions of $but can't pay their taxes. They deserve to go broke for being so ******.

He is not in trouble with taxes and the Philippine government is not running after him right now for undeclared or underdeclared taxes. It just happened that those who are handling his financial records/documents were negligent that they failed to submit said records to the taxing authority when requested. What he violated was " failure to obey summons' which is a separate and distinct offense from tax evasion under Philippine law. Being guilty of said offense does not follow that the person is also guilty of tax evasion. They are two different animals. To be charged with tax evasion, there must be criminal intent to evade payment of taxes and said intent may be presumed the moment he is found to have underdeclared by at least 30% of his income within and without the Philippines in the tax return he filed for the year in question.

But you are correct when you said that this is not a conspiracy. This is actually a routinary thing regularly being done on a yearly basis to taxpayers. As of date, many celebrities have been charged for violation of said law-that is "failure to obey summons"..

The thing is though that when the tax drama involved Mayweather, many people tried to rationally explain things almost word for word as you just have. The Pinoy ignored it and spammed about "Fraud pay texes or MANNY PACMEN LOCK HIM UP!!!!" for months on end. Almost entirely because of how Pacquiao's fans acted during Floyd's problems, I really don't think anyone will or even should listen to a rational explanation regarding Manny's ever growing legal problems. They should start photoshopping Manny behind bars pictures, spam gay and butt**** jokes, and sportswriters should all start calling jails in the Philippines asking for a picture of what Pacquiao's cell would look like.

If the Pacfarts followed the Golden Rule (do onto others as you would have them do onto you), then by all means the Pac-haters and Floyd loyalists really have every right to spam idiocy for weeks on end regarding this.

Then what is this?

According to overseas reports, Philippine tax officials have filed a criminal complaint against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao for failure to submit documents to investigators looking into his tax returns. As a result, local prosecutors will now attempt to put together enough evidence to bring a case against Pacquiao to court. If convicted, Pacquiao could face up to two years in jail.

Rozil Lozares, the Bureau of Internal Revenue regional director, says a complaint was filed on March 1 after Pacquiao failed to submit the documents despite three notices and a subpoena.

Lozares stated that Pacquiao's 2010 tax return contained "discrepancies" related to his many businesses and endorsements.

It's nice to see the BIR doing its Job; but, the Accountant of Pacman who usually prepares all papers needed, isn't doing his job.
