What Vera Files found

Paulit-ulit na nilinaw ng mga opisyal ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) na walang pagkakautang na buwis ang ABS-CBN sa mga pagdinig ng kongreso sa aplikasyon ng pag-renew ng prangkisa ng network noong 2020. Noong Hulyo ng nakaraang taon, sinabi ni BIR Assistant Commissioner Manuel Mapoy sa House Committee on Legislative Franchise na ang media giant ay nagbayad ng hindi bababa sa P15 bilyong halaga ng buwis mula 2016 hanggang 2019.
