Actress Ruffa Gutierrez and her parents, Annabelle Rama and actor Eddie Gutierrez, on Thursday asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to send back their tax evasion case to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for reinvestigation.
Last April, the BIR filed tax evasion charges with the DOJ against the Gutierrezes for their failure to pay taxes worth P3.3 million in 2003-2004.
The actress and her parents denied that they deliberately refused to cooperate with the BIR officer who went to their residence to scrutinize accounting records of their company Royal Era Entertainment.
They blamed their housemaid for supposedly failing to inform them of the BIR’s request.
Royal Era is engaged in the production, promotion and marketing of movies, television shows, recordings and live shows for local and international viewing.
The Gutierrezes further claimed that revenue officers, who were supposed to deliver the second request for examination of Royal Era’s books of accounts last March 27, were not allowed to enter their house for security reasons.
They claimed that remanding the case to the BIR would erase doubt that they were denied due process.-GMANews.TV
