Manila Revenue Regional Director Jethro M. Sabariaga said that VAPE brands Relx and Snowplus++ were seized from the stores operated by Gizmobile Ventures and Luxecity Manila. He did not give an exact figure as to the confiscated products.
Sabariaga said that a check with the BIR large taxpayers service showed that the two companies were not the registered distributor of the partucular vape brands.
He said these companies will be required to pay deficiency taxes based on the number of seized items, as prescribed under Revenue Regulations 7-2021, which implemented Republic Act (RA) Nos. 11346 and 11467.
