JaMill broke their silence on the issue with BIR and their decision to sell their properties.
Jayzam Manabat and Camille Trinidad, collectively known as JaMill, recently broke their silence on the issue with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and their decision to sell their properties.
Camille and Jayzam have finally broken their silence over the issue they recently got involved in. According to the controversial couple, a representative from the Bureau of Internal Revenue visited them and “educated” them on their responsibilities as online content creators.
During an interview for an episode of GMA Network’s magazine show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” last September 19, Jayzam said that they’re working on it.
“Sa mga nanunuod, wag niyong isipin negatibo kapag yung mga tao ay hinahabol ng BIR. Ibig sabihin, may potensiyal kaming mga vloggers umambag dito sa Pilipinas,” Jayzam said.
When asked about their decision to put their properties on sale, JaMill deemed it as another impulsive decision they made, just like the deletion of their own YouTube channel.

Recently, the BIR issued a memo in order to remind social media influencers of their tax obligations.
The Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 97-2021 was issued to inform social media influencers — including YouTubers — of their tax obligations and the possible consequences for not paying their taxes.
According to the BIR, it had been receiving reports that some social media influencers haven’t been paying their income taxes despite earning “huge” income from the different social media platforms.
There were also reports that some social media influencers weren’t registered with the BIR or were registered under different tax types or lines of business, but were also not declaring their earnings from social media platforms for tax purposes.
Coincidentally, Camille and Jayzam deleted their YouTube channel and their properties were up for sale, making them more “suspicious” at that time.
Meanwhile, the Department of Finance (DOF) said that the BIR had already issued Letters of Authority (LOAs) for the conduct of the investigation to an initial list of 250 social media influencers found to be “top earners”.
