Dr. Joel Mendez (FILE PHOTO) MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) again haled to court celebrity doctor Joel Mendez and his beauty clinic for alleged unpaid taxes in 2010.

The rare Tintin book that’s just sold for £61,000 – how to tell if your comics are worth thousands
An incredibly rare Tintin comic book has been sold for £61,050 after sending bidders into a frenzy online. The 1943 alternative edition of the Tintin story 'L’lle Noire' (The Black Island), raked up dozens of bids - with collectors offering huge sums to secure the incredibly scarce copy. It's so rare that there are only three known copies left in the world. In fact, according to Patrick Vranken, comic book expert at auctioneers Catawiki , it's not 'just' a comic book. The album was intended to be sent to newspapers and magazines for publication ( Image: Catawiki) "The album was printed in 1943 on request of Tintin illustrator Hergé in a private circulation of only 10 pieces, meant for newspapers who could use it for publication," he said. "However, the book in the auction was never sent, but was later used by Hergé as a working document to prepare a modern version of the original book. Instead of being sent to reporters, the album was stored in Hergé’s … [Read more...] about The rare Tintin book that’s just sold for £61,000 – how to tell if your comics are worth thousands
Cost of living: Former Tory leader calls for benefits increase to help poorest cope
Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith has called for benefits to be immediately increased in line with inflation to help the poorest cope with the cost of living. The senior Tory MP also called for tax cuts for those in work to help "the squeezed middle". "During the course of this spike, we should make sure we bring those benefits that are relevant to those people who are in need up to be able to afford to pay bills that are going to be higher," Mr Duncan Smith told Sky News. Universal Credit and other benefits rose by 3.1% last month, in line with the CPI rate of inflation last September. This week, inflation hit a 40-year high of 9% in the 12 months to April .

Cost of living: Former Tory leader calls for benefits increase ‘to help poorest cope’
A former Conservative leader has called for benefits to be immediately increased to help the poorest cope with the cost of living. But Iain Duncan Smith's plea came as two cabinet ministers spoke out publicly against bringing in a windfall tax on oil and gas companies to help pay for support for people struggling. In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, the Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said it would "put off investment" while the Health Secretary Sajid Javid told Conservative activists in Wales he instinctively didn't like it. The Chancellor Rishi Sunak has refused to rule out the idea, with one newspaper on Sunday reporting a staggered version of the levy is being looked at. Sir Iain had told Sky News there should also be tax cuts for those in work to help "the squeezed middle".
