Boy, James offer tax tips in Iwas Buwis-it
The Asian Consulting Group recently launched the latest publication under its name, Iwas Buwis-it: What to Do When Tax Attacks. The launch was held at the ACG Tax Hub, 9F The Ignacia Place, Quezon City.
Inspired by the casual style of magazines, Iwas Buwis-it discusses the taxes a person is subjected to throughout their lives. The book covers a variety of common experiences such as career choices, starting a business, giving gifts and many more. Iwas Buwis-it will also feature business tips from Potato Corner CEO Jose Magsaysay Jr., and interviews with James Reid and Boy Abunda.
“The goal of the book is to help people understand taxes — not the technical knowledge, just the understanding of why we’re taxed, how are we taxed and what kind of taxes we pay,” said ACG founding chairman Mon Abrea. “Iwas
Buwis-it won’t be about how to file this return or pay that tax. The book is about life in general — your careers, your ideals or even your business ideas.”
Like its previous publications, Iwas
Buwis-it is part of ACG’s advocacy of helping taxpayers by educating them. If taxpayers know more about taxes, then they can avoid committing unnecessary violations. To further this advocacy, the Asian Consulting Group has also led seminars and consultations throughout the country. At its main office, the company also conducts the Tax Hub Talks, which features a variety of topics.
The Philippine tax whiz Abrea has also written other publications for the non-profit organization Center for Strategic Reforms of the Philippines, including the bestselling tax handbook, Got A Question About Taxes? Ask The Tax Whiz! as part of his advocacy.
