The taxman cometh

It may have a different name in your country, but I'm sure you'll understand when I say that this is my most hated building in Metro Manila. This is the head office of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, located in Quezon City.

    Hahaha...I can imagine why you hate that...But surely the sky is something we can't hate for long.
    Re:my post for SWF, it was taken early morning, and the sky was still grey.

    It is odd. Most people I know love to get checks from the Internal Revenue Service. LOL

    Tee hee. Nobody likes the taxman, I'm afraid. But I sure wouldn't want to live without the things our taxes provide!

    Nice sky! Your weather must be beautiful.

    Lovely sky- ugly building! Our IRS building is despised as well- especially if (like me) you owe!!!

    Who can love a building like that! Fortunately we have a great sky above all those obscenities!

    It's not a very friendly looking building. Most of the commenters don't seem to like it either.

    A government building, for sure. And nobody likes the tax people. Nice photo, Hilda!

    uggh! taxes. In the US, tax day is April 15th, which is right around the corner. The sky is pretty but the building does look like a government building

    Too funny. Oregon's Department of Revenue building has very few windows. Probably to protect the identities of the employees. Also, not a popular building here.
