Kasama na dito ang pagpigil sa iyong asawa/kasintahan na magkaroon ng self determination sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng sariling trabaho, propesyon, negosyo, o iba pang mapagkukunan ng pagkakakitaan. Bukod pa rito ang pagkontrol sa pinansyal o mahalagang pag-mamay-ari ng iyong partner o pagsira sa kanyang mga kagamitan.

PAALALA PO SA MGA ONLINE MARKETPLACES, E-MARKETPLACES, AND ONLINE SELLERS
"If retail/physical stores are registered and paying their taxes, online stores should do the same. In the coming months, we are expecting an increase in revenue of online businesses due to the holiday spending spree. To all consumers, ask online sellers/businesses for an official receipt. If you are spending your hard-earned income after paying taxes on their products, then online sellers/businesses should also pay their taxes" –Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr.
Kasabay ng mga kaliwa’t kanang holiday sale, promos, at mga shopping spree dulot ng kapaskuhan, ay aming pinapaalala na mananagot ang mga online businesses na hindi sumusunod sa ating tax laws. Kahit holiday season, kung ang inyong online business ay hindi tax compliant, maari po itong i-block ng BIR katulad ng Oplan Kandado ng mga piskal na tindahan.
Ayon sa Section 15 ng National Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 12023, kasama sa kakayahan ng Commissioner of Internal Revenue ang pagsuspinde o pag-block ng mga digital service ng mga digital service providers sa Pilipinas.

"We advise that E-marketplace Platforms, Online Sellers, & Content Creators should follow RR No. 15-2024 strictly, and as soon as possible. It is unfair to the retail industry or to the sector which has brick-and-mortar stores, if online businesses are not regulated and taxed in the same manner. If physical stores can be closed down through a closure order, online businesses can be closed down through a take down order" –Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr.

Sa bisa ng Revenue Regulation No. 15-2024 (RR No. 15-2024) ay nagkaroon na ng polisiya ang pagrehistro ng brick-and-mortar (pisikal) at online businesses.Ito ay para maging patas ang pag-regulate at singil ng buwis sa pagitan ng mga pisikal at online na mga negosyo.

Sa Section 8 ng RR No. 15-2024 ay nakasaad na maaaring i-suspende ang business operations sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng Closure/Take Down order laban sa parehong pisikal at online na negosyo, at kahit nakasarado o tigil ang operasyon ng negosyo ay pwede pa ring magpasa ng tax evasion case ang BIR sa ilalim ng Run After Tax Evaders program.

Sa Section 11 ng RR No. 15-2024 ay nakasaad na ang mga lessors, sub-lessors ng mga commercial establishments/building/at commercial space, operator ng digital platform (kasama ang e-marketplace) ay responsable sa paninigurado na ang kanilang mga lessees ay rehistrado sa BIR. Ang hindi pagpapatupad ng requirement na ito ay magiging ‘’act of aiding or abetting in the commission of the offense.’’

"We will be monitoring digital platforms and e-marketplace platforms like Lazada, Shopee, and Tiktok to check if their online sellers and content creators have complied with their BIR registration. We will also be monitoring lessors and sub-lessors of commercial spaces like malls and buildings to check if their tenants are also compliant. Allowing lessees or online sellers/merchants to use to engage in business the premises or digital platform without BIR registration will be considered a violation of our tax laws" –Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr.
