MANILA, Philippines—The Bureau of Internal Revenue on Thursday filed a tax evasion case against actress-model Solenn Heusaff.

Based on the complaint filed with the Department of Justice, Heusaff earned P13.38 million in 2011 but investigation showed she only declared P6.73 million earnings from GMA Network, San Miguel Brewery Inc., Ginebra San Miguel, Penshoppe and Tape Inc.

The BIR said her tax liability was P3.6 million.

Aside from Heusaff, also included in the complaint was her accountant Teofilo Magno Jr for making false entries in his client’s audited financial statement.

Heusaff’s underdeclaration is more than 30 percent and is proof of evidence, said the BIR.

Heusaff, in her twitter account, reacted to the complaint filed against her. She said, “I am an honest person. As transparent as it gets. Someone made a mistake and I have to fix it.”
