The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) today filed a criminal complaint with the Department of
Justice against PHILIPPINE CANINE CLUB, INC. (PCCI), and its responsible corporate officers -
AUGUSTO BENEDICTO S. SANTOS III (President, 2006 – 2008 & 2010), RONNIE NATIVIDAD
(President, 2009 & 2011), BERNARDITO JALANDONI REPALDOR (Treasurer, 2006), DANNY
RAMILLANO (Treasurer, 2007 & 2008), JOHNY FILART (Treasurer, 2009), and EMMANUEL SANTOS
(Treasurer, 2010 & 2011) - for willful attempt to evade or defeat the payment of Value Added Tax
(VAT), and for deliberate failure to file VAT Returns for taxable years 2006 to 2011, in violation of
Sections 254 and 255, in relation to Sections 253 and 256, of the National Internal Revenue Code of
1997, as amended (Tax Code).
PCCI is a domestic corporation registered with the BIR and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with registered office and business address at Room 206 Hillcrest Condominium, 1616 E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue, Cubao, Quezon City. Its stated purpose is to advance the study, breeding, exhibiting, running and maintenance of purebred dogs through the maintenance of a Registry of purebred dogs, regulating conduct of persons and organizations interested in breeding, registering, selling, purchasing, exhibiting and running purebred dogs and preventing fraud in connection therewith.
The case against PCCI stemmed from a denunciation letter from a complainant-informant alleging that PCCI has been evading and continues to evade the payment of the required VAT since taxable year 2004.
Based on the information and documents gathered in the course of the investigation conducted by the Special Investigation Division of Revenue Region No. 7, Quezon City, it was discovered that PCCI declared with the BIR gross sales of P34.24 million, P31.73 million, P32.92 million, P42.54 million, P37.69 million, and P42.66 million for taxable years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Records from the BIR, however, showed that PCCI failed to file its VAT Returns and pay its VAT liabilities for taxable years 2006 to 2011. Since PCCI is engaged in the sale of services in the course of a business pursuit, it is liable to pay VAT.
PCCI, together with its responsible corporate officers, was sued for an aggregate VAT liability covering taxable years 2006 to 2011 amounting to P68.08 million, inclusive of increments.
