Solenn on tax evasion case: We’re fixing it
Solenn Heussaff has learned her lesson about finances the hard way after the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax evasion case against her months ago.
“Ngayon may tatlong tao na ako (in charge of my finances) kasi hindi ko pa talaga kaya. Mahirap talaga yung accounting. Nag-search ako sa Internet, nabasa ko yung explanation and all pero kapag hindi ka nag-study ng accounting, mahirap talaga,” she said at the launch of British makeup brand Collection Cosmetics (Work The Colour) at the Rockwell Tent on Wednesday, June 19.
Solenn was sued for a total tax liability worth P3.6 million and allegedly underdeclaring her 2011 taxable income P6.65-million. She denied the charges and reportedly filed a counter-affidavit.
Solenn said she’s still working on the case.
“We’re fixing it. Unfortunately, it was on the news na hindi naman kailangan. I wasn’t given due process. But we’re fixing it all now and I trust the justice system of the country. May problem sa accounting side na hindi ko alam kasi hindi ako number-oriented. The case is under DOJ (Department of Justice), so may three more hearings pa kami.”
Her hectic schedule
Aside from preparing for her second album, Solenn will also be busy working on a new teleserye and movie. She will star in Chris Martinez’s film, which will also features Eugene Domingo, Paolo Avelino, Maja Salvador and Jake Cuenca.
“Actually nakatrabaho ko na si Paolo sa isang movie pero short lang yung scene namin. Ngayon parang siya ang ka-love team ko so excited ako kasi magkaibigan kami and yung script ang ganda and funny,” Solenn said.
Asked to name Kapamilya artists she wants to work with someday, the Kapuso talent replied,”Gusto ko makatrabaho si John Lloyd kasi magaling siya. Siyempre gusto ko rin si Anne Curtis. Maraming magaling (sa ABS-CBN) so I’m open to work with them if given the chance.”
How does she maintain her good looks and fit physique?
“May three days off ako per week so nagpe-paint ako, nag-exercise ako, nakapag-maintain ng katawan. You just have to drink lots of water para ma-purify ang pores, get at least eight hours of sleep and eat the right food. Huwag yung masyado oily food kasi magkakaroon ka ng pimples. So dapat a balance of everything. Exercise and then night cream lang.”
