But Nadia Jurani, a certified public accountant and attorney at law in Nevada, said Pacquiao's tax troubles should have been taken cared of by his accountant and legal counsel in the United States.
“In the United States, if he paid taxes he should be able to produce that tax return form 1040 N.R. to take to the Philippines to show that he paid taxes. The problem now is the BIR in the Philippines doesn't accept the transcript from the IRS because the transcript doesn't look like the real tax return. They thought it just made up,” Jurani explained.
“See what his accountant or lawyer would do is go to the IRS and get an actual copy of the tax return that was prepared and how much taxes he has paid, because those taxes he paid there would be credited to whatever tax he would pay in the Philippines so he will not be charged of double taxation,” he continued.
