Senate of the Philippines (File photo) MANILA - The Department of Finance (DOF), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and Bureau of Customs (BOC) on Monday unanimously expressed their support to craft a Senate version of House Bill 9306 which seeks to amend the laws that grant rewards to informants who can help flag violations. DOF Legal Affairs Director Jesus Nathaniel Gonzales told the Committee of Ways and Means chaired by Senator Pia Cayetano that the bill could improve tax collection, enforcement, and administration of the BIR and BOC. He suggested general recommendations to further strengthen the provisions of the bill authored by Magdalo party-list Rep. Manuel Cabochan III and approved by the House of Representatives in August last year. "That the information to be submitted by the informant must be supported by substantial evidence. This will further bolster the intent to filter unreliable information and decongest applications for informers' rewards in BIR and BOC,"
