Doctors reconcile with BIR, helps ITR filing campaign
MANILA, Philippines – Like her colleagues in the medical profession, Dr Minerva Calimag also felt strongly about the controversial advertisement that the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) put out, depicting doctors as tax cheats.
Calimag, however, would rather let bygones be bygones. As the new president of the Philippine Medical Association (PMA), she appeared with BIR Commissioner Kim Henares in a press conference on Thursday, April 10, to call on taxpayers – especially doctors – to file their returns before the April 15 deadline.
