Dear Sir Madam,
I am sending this video link for you to see and answer a few questions regarding it.
This video was posted on September 23 just a few days ago on a YouTube channel owned but I beleive is NOT registered with BIR or DTI, to Brian Granville Smith, American citizen, of Tanglihague, Talibon Bohol. That YouTube channel is named A Foreigner Farming In the Philippines.
This is one of many such cash deals these two people have posted on YouTube advising world wide viewers this is the ”’normal”’ way you can conduct business in the Philippines which I doubt very much to be the case when operating a registered sole trader business?
It is a cash deal, done at night as you can see in a public car park in Talibon outside the Talibon Jollibee take away restaurant.
No paperwork or receipts were exchanged at any time as you will also see.
Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/
Can you please inform me how this transaction is in any way compliant with BIR regulations?
Can you tell me why the person accepting this cash money, the registered owner of MarJhen Aquaponics, Maricel Smith, can conduct such business affairs without any kind of conforming to your regulations regarding a commercial sale of Fishery Products?
Salamaat and thank you to you giving me a prompt reply to my questions
Kind Regards,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
