Former FFB Pres Agrees To Pay Income Tax 500/monthly To Settle Arrears
posted (August 30, 2013)
Last night we told about former FFB President, 55 year-old vet, Bertie Chimilio, who allegedly owes the Income Tax Department, $33,255 in arrears for taxes he didn't pay when he was the president of the FFB. Well, as this picture, shows Chimilio left the court today wearing a big grin.

And that might be because the judge ordered that he has to pay his income tax arrears of $33,000 dollars at a rate of $500 dollars per month for five years.

Today, the income tax prosecutor Anne Castillo appeared to show the court cancelled checks and a salary registry. She noted that many of his records had been destroyed and she could only unearth emolument checks for between 2010-2011. She added that Chimilio had not filed tax returns for several years when he was FFB President.

Chimilio told the court that he does not have a job and only gets a monthly allowance from his wife of $500 dollars per month.

He starts paying effective September.
