The firm had claimed tetrapropylene is not subject to excise tax under the National Internal Revenue Code.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> The classification of unleaded gasoline, Catalytic Cracked Gasoline (CCG) and Light Catalytic Cracked Gasoline (LCCG), was also changed from an "exclusively for sale" finished product to a mere "blending component."</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> Despite this, the Bureau of Customs still demanded P7.348 billion tax payment.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> Instead of complying, Shell changed the name of the declared gasoline shipment from "CCG" and "LCCG" to "Alkylate," which was classified as non-taxable waste material.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> Prior this, Shell paid taxes for CCG and LCCG in 2001 to 2004.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> The complainants said the P7.348-billion worth of taxes supposedly collected from CCG and LCCG, and P1.9 billion from Alkylate shipments has ballooned to over P100 billion in six years.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> They added, Aquino and Purisima snubbed Aclan's letter which called on the administration's attention over the uncollected taxes.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> "Kung isasama ang interest, surcharge at 800% penalty, lahat yan aabot ng P100 billion 'yan," said Tan.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> (If we will include the interest, surcharges and 800% penalty, it will reach P100 billion.)</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> "Pera ng gobyerno 'yan. For more than six years ang pera nasa Shell, ginagamit ng Shell."</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> (That’s the government’s money. For more than 6 years the money is with Shell.)</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> Aquino, Purisima and Shell executives Edgar Chua, Robert Kanapi, and Nigel Avila have yet to comment on the complaint.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> They are complained of violating the "Tariff and Customs Code" and the "Doctrine of Command Responsibility in all Government Offices."</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> Shell has a pending case filed before the Court of Tax Appeals. In the petition, the company asked the tax court to stop the tax collection from previous importations.</div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;"> SOURCE: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/09/14/16/aquino-faces-graft-over-p100-b-uncollected-taxes" target="_blank">ABS-CBN</a></div>
