BIR局长要求所有授权函须获其批准

菲律宾国内税务局(BIR)局长Charlito Mendoza宣布,所有授权函(LOA)在签发前现需经其批准,此举系为防止税务审计中滥用而进行的改革。他于2025年12月11日在参议院蓝丝带委员会听证会上披露此事。此前,这些文件由区域层面签发,无需上报局长批准。

2025年12月11日,在参议院蓝丝带委员会听证会上,菲律宾国内税务局(BIR)局长Charlito Mendoza宣布了对授权函(LOA)签发程序的改革。这些文件通常用于启动税务审计,但此前区域主任拥有绝对权力签发这些文件,无需局长批准。“目前,区域主任在签发授权函时拥有绝对权力,而且这些文件无需上报局长批准或事先清关,”他表示。

针对授权函被滥用于敲诈勒索和向商人和纳税人索贿的报道,BIR已暂停现场审计行动。参议员JV Ejercito和Erwin Tulfo指称BIR人员从中扣留高达70%的款项。为改善流程,BIR计划限制纳税人可接收的授权函数量,并通过集成数字系统加强制衡。

前BIR局长Kim Henares强调,授权函仍是有效收税的必要工具,她引用研究显示,由于逃税及相关问题,有1万亿比索税款未收。在其任期内,她的办公室严格监控授权函签发,并将其纳入审计计划限制之列。这些改革旨在提升BIR的诚信,应对腐败指控。
