The Finance Department has ordered the tax bureau to close down all Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators that have failed to settle tax liabilities. The Finance Department has ordered the tax bureau to close down all Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators that have failed to settle tax liabilities.

"Why don't we start closing them down so they will answer these assessments," Dominguez said during an interagency meeting on Friday."Those who don't pay or respond to your assessments, clamp them down." Dominguez instructed the BIR to ensure that the payment be made for each foreign worker and to reject any lump sum offers.

BIR deputy commissioner Arnel Guballa, however, said the BIR cannot do the job of padlocking errant POGOs alone, and asked the assistance of the Department of Labor and Employment , the Bureau of Immigration and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. in closing down errant POGOs.
