Failure to Fill Up the 'Creditable Tax Withheld' Portion of BIR Form 1701 and 1702

Schedule 1, Page 2, Annual Income Tax Return
Failure to Fill Up the 'Creditable Tax Withheld' Portion of BIR Form 1701 and 1702
facebook.com/Kataxpayer

For the untrained minds, these two Court of Tax Appeals' resolutions contradicted each other. However, in essence, the placing of the GROSS INCOME and its corresponding TAX WITHHELD IS OPTIONAL. Provided, that the gross income which was subjected to expanded withholding tax by a supplier or vendor should be declared in the TOTAL GROSS INCOME FOR THE TAXABLE YEAR CONCERNED. Provided, further that the TAX WITHHELD THEREFROM should be indicated on the front page of 1701 or 1702. Provided, furthermore that the Certificate of Tax Withheld (BIR Form No. 2307) was attached to the said 1701 or 1702 and duly received by the BIR. Provided, finally that a note to financial statements stating among others that ALL THE GROSS INCOME SUBJECT TO WITHHOLDING OF A TAX ARE TRUTHFULLY AND CORRECTLY DECLARED.

In order to remove and completely avoid the stress and harassment being incorporated by many untrained and undereducated revenue officers, it is RECOMMENDED that you fill up the said portion.

Orix Auto Leasing Corporation vs. CIR, CTA EB Case No. 1016, December 9, 2013

The fact that the “Creditable Tax Withheld” portion of the Annual Income Tax Return of the taxpayer which was left blank should not be taken lightly. It is well settled that much credence is imbued in the Annual Income Tax Return. The taxpayer asserts the truth and correctness in the declarations made therein, explicitly stating that the same are made under the penalties of perjury. Such declaration is made pursuant to the provisions of Section 267 of the NIRC.

Applying this provision to the instant case, taxpayer’s failure to fill up the “Creditable Tax Withheld” portion, coupled by the inability of the pieces of evidence submitted to prove that the income subjected to the claimed unutilized creditable withholding tax was declared as part of its gross income, is fatal to a claim for issuance of TCC on the unutilized creditable withholding tax. 
 

There is neither law nor jurisprudence that states that the taxpayer’s failure to fill up the entry in the “Creditable Tax Withheld” column in Schedule 1 of the Annual Income Tax Return would be fatal to a claim for refund.

In this claim for refund of unutilized creditable withholding taxes, the BIR questioned, among others, the taxpayer’s compliance of the requirement that the income upon which the taxes were withheld were included in the return of the recipient, on the ground that the creditable tax withheld column in schedule 1 of the annual ITR was not filled-up.

CIR vs. Sonoma Services Inc., CTA EB No. 931, December 11, 2013

The CTA en banc ruled that there is neither law nor jurisprudence that states that the taxpayer’s failure to fill up the entry in the “Creditable Tax Withheld” column in Schedule 1 of the Annual ITR would be fatal to a claim for refund. What Section 2.58.3 of RR No. 2-98 and the applicable jurisprudence require is that the taxpayer be able to declare as part of its gross income in the Annual Income Tax Return the income payment from which the withholding was made. Further, failure on the part of a taxpayer to make an entry in the “Creditable Tax Withheld” column found in page 2 of the Annual Income Tax Return, specifically Schedule 1 or the “Schedule of Sales/Revenues/Receipts/Fess” is not a sufficient basis to conclude that the taxpayer failed to comply with the requirement that “income upon which the taxes were withheld were included in the return of the recipient” when the taxpayer has offered other evidence to establish its compliance with this requirement. The claim for refund was granted.

WHEN A TAX ASSESSMENT NOTICE BECOMES INVALID?
facebook.com/Kataxpayer

In the case of CIR versus Fitness by Design, Inc. CTA EB-970, July 14, 2014, it was ruled that all Deficiency Tax Assessment Notices must clearly show a due date. Else, for lack of a definite and unequivocal demand for payment of a certain date and for want of due process, the assessment is void.

MORAL LESSON: Accept all Formal Letters of Demand or Final Assessment Notices having no due dates and then use the prescription period to your advantage. At any rate, the succeeding notice emanating therefrom is also considered void.

When is the best time to issue a Warrant of Garnishment and/or Distraint and Levy - facebook.com/Kataxpayer

Warrant of Garnishment and/or Distraint and Levy
www.facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro

In the case of Solid-One Mills, Phils., Inc. vs. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, CTA Case No. 8507, May 29, 2014, it was ruled that
the taxpayer received both the FLD and the FAN on June 8, 2007. As it was not established when the FLD and FAN were released, mailed or sent by the BIR to the taxpayer, the date of receipt by the taxpayer should be regarded as the date when the FLD and the FAN were released, mailed or sent to the taxpayer. Since the taxpayer received the FLD and the FAN on June 8, 2007, the BIR had until June 8, 2012 within which to collect he deficiency taxes.

Although the Notice of Tax Lien, Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy and Warrants of Garnishment were issued by the BIR on June 7, 2012, or one day before the expiration of the period for collection on June 8, 2012, the Notice of Tax Lien was served on the Register of Deeds on June 14, 2012 and the Warrants of Garnishment were received by the banks on June 15, 2012 and June 18, 2012. Distraint and levy proceedings did not validly begin or commence with the mere
issuance of the Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy. The Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy must be served upon the taxpayer within the prescriptive period to collect, in order to suspend the running of the prescriptive period for collection of deficiency taxes. Since the Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy was served on taxpayer only on June 14, 2012 or six days beyond the expiration of the five-year period, the government lost its right o collect he assessed deficiency taxes and penalties.

WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATION (BEYOND 3 YEARS) by Facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro

WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATION (BEYOND 3 YEARS)
by Facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro

To extend the prescriptive period for the BIR to assess taxpayer’s tax liabilities, the BIR requested the taxpayer to execute a series of waivers of the statute of limitations. But the Court declared the waivers executed by the taxpayer as defective for the following reasons, among others: (1) the signatory signed the waivers without any notarized written authority from the taxpayer’s Board of Directors; (2) the respective dates of their acceptance by the BIR were not indicated in the waivers. The waivers, being defective, have no binding effect on the taxpayer. (Next Mobile, Inc. vs. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, CTA Case No. 7965, December 11, 2012)

K Corp, through its accountant, executed two Waivers of Defense of Prescription. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (“BIR”) issued an assessment, which K Corp duly protested. The BIR denied the protest and required K Corp to pay deficiency tax liabilities. In its petition for review before the Court of Tax Appeals (“CTA”), K Corp raised the defense of prescription on the ground that the waivers executed by its accountant were invalid and thus did not extend the BIR’s period to assess. The Court held that the waivers were defective for the following reasons: (a) the waivers were executed without the notarized written authority of the accountant to sign on behalf of K Corp; (b) the waivers failed to indicate the BIR’s date of acceptance of the same; and (c) the fact of receipt by K Corp of its file copy was not indicated in the original copies of the waivers. A valid waiver should strictly comply with the requirements set forth in RMO 20-90 and RDAO 05-01, otherwise the period to assess will not be tolled and prescription will set in.

Books of Accounts, When to Register/Renew? Facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro

REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 82-2008 (RMC 82-2008)
SUBJECT : REGISTRATION OF MANUAL BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS
Facebook.com/Kataxpayer

It has been observed that the different Revenue District Offices (RDOs) of the Bureau adopt differing rules and procedures with respect to the registration of the manual books of accounts. In some RDOs, before a new set of books of accounts is registered, taxpayers are still required to first present the previously registered books of accounts regardless of whether or not the pages thereof have all been filled up. On the other hand, in other districts, a photocopy of the stamped front page of these previously registered books of accounts is the document being required in order to approve the registration of the new set of books. Apparently, these differing rules observed by the RDOs have caused frustration and exasperation to the taxpayers which eventually resulted to an indifferent attitude towards compliance.

In view of the foregoing misinterpretations on registration procedures, this Circular is hereby issued to elucidate the proper registration procedures for manual books of accounts based on the existing provisions in the Bookkeeping Regulations.

The following are the existing rules with respect to the registration of manual books of accounts:

(1) Manual books of accounts previously registered but whose pages are not yet fully exhausted can still be used in the succeeding years without the need of re-registering or re-stamping the same, provided, that the portions pertaining to a particular year should be properly labeled or marked by taxpayer;

(2) The registration of a new set of manual books of accounts shall only be at the time when the pages of the previously registered books have all been already exhausted. This means that it is not necessary for a taxpayer to register a new set of manual books of accounts each and every year.

(3) The registration deadline of “January 30 of the following year” as enunciated in RMO 29-2002 applies only to computerized books of accounts and not to manual books accounts. The “15 days after the end of the calendar year” deadline under RMC 13-82 refers to loose-leaf bound books of accounts and not to manual books of accounts;

(4) Newly Registered taxpayers shall present the Manual Books of Accounts before use to the RDOs where the place of business is located or concerned office under the Large Taxpayer Service for approval and registration;

(5) Subsidiary manual books of accounts to be used by taxpayers, in addition to the manual books of accounts, required by the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997 and existing rules, shall likewise be registered before use, following the same rules abovementioned;

(6) It is to be emphasized that the Taxpayer Service Section (TSS) of the RDOs or concerned office under Large Taxpayer Service has no authority to examine whether the previously registered books are complete and/or updated prior to the approval of the registration.

The aforementioned rules are to be uniformly observed by revenue officers in charge of registration of manual books of accounts.

All internal revenue officers are hereby enjoined to give this Circular as wide a publicity as possible. 

To avoid a tax mapping penalty for failure to update your books of accounts, the best is to register loose-leaf books of accounts. So you deprive revenue officers in mapping the same. 

For any tax problem, there is one solution that is ETM Tax Agent Office

PEZA-reg Entity sold its Building to Another PEZA-reg Entity, Is the sale subject to VAT, withholding tax and regular income tax?

PEZA-reg Entity sold its Building to Another PEZA-reg Entity, Is the sale subject to VAT, withholding tax and regular income tax?

The BIR Chief, Ms. Kim Henares ruled, in the case of STMI, that the sale of unregistered goods or properties is subject to withholding tax and thus, to regular income tax because only those goods and properties explicitly stated to be subject to preferential rate or income tax holiday (ITH) are exempt from withholding tax and regular income tax. For VAT purposes, the sale is also subject to VAT at 0% percent.

Moral lesson is this 'Before selling any good or property inside the PEZA area, have it first registered.'

Tip to reduce mistakes - Facebook.com/Kataxpayer

Tip to reduce mistakes in handling tax opportunities
Facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro

Katax ETM is tipping you that before you act, you must look for a similar act in which a judicial interpretation of the law has been applied. Likewise, before you answer any request of any revenue officer, check if there is a court decision that is applicable thereto.

In the case of CIR vs. Michel J Lhuillier, GR#150947, July 15, 2003, the Philippine Supreme Court says that The Supreme Court by tradition and in our system of judicial administration, has the las word on what the law is; it is the final arbiter of any justifiable controversy. There is only one Supreme Court from whose decisions all other courts should take their bearings.

Even the BIR Chief's interpretation of the law is not final and executory.

If you've been harassing by any revenue officer, please call Divine or Dhen who may help assisting you against such oppression (0922 8010922). Thanks

Kim Henares said, Tax Code shall prevail over PFRS and GAAP... by facebook.com/Kataxpayer

The rule of taxation must be uniform and equitable - 1987 Philippine Constitution

Read the herein shown letter of Ms. Kim Henares to facebook.com/EmelinoTMaestro, then picture that you're being investigated because you miserably failed to recognise that your independent Certified Public Accountant's audited financial statements have no disclosures on the issues affecting national taxation. Then, you felt that you're betrayed for your intention is to comply with the Tax Code and not with the PFRS/GAAP.

As a parent, will you offer a solution to your kids that they didn't need, neither understand? Yes, you will feel so guilt, so ashamed because you're just wasting your kids' time and polluting their minds if you do so. As also a kid, this is what your mind is whispering to you. You're becoming so  frustrated. Without a solution in sight, you tell yourself that you will evade taxes, even if a part of you are screaming not to do so, so that you can have something to give to those harassing, bothering and oppressing you. 

The rule of taxation must be uniform. Inside the taxation-rule is the tax accounting rule. If the preparation of your income tax return which is based on tax accounting rules is supported by audited financial statements which must also be based on tax accounting rules, you will encounter no tax troubles and miseries. Else, gross misconduct had been exercised consciously. Thus, the receipt of huge deficiency tax assessments is imminent. 

EmelinoTMaestro believes that to reconcile PFRS/GAAP to Tax Code is just a waste of time and in the dialect of the National Society of Accountants of the United States of America, too costly and expensive. PFRS/GAAP is copied from abroad and to use it is only an option. The Tax Code, on the other hand, is the law that is created for the Filipinos, by Filipinos, and of Filipinos and to use it is not option or in other words, mandatory and obligatory. This is the reason for which Ms. Kim Henares is ordering you to reconcile your PFRS/GAAP basis financial statements with the Tax Code.

Executive Summary

November 17, 2014

Historical basis.

In the year 2003, the former President of the Republic of the Philippines, Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, publicly declared that the 45,000 Letters of Authority are deemed ‘cancelled and ineffective’. That was the first time that the taxpaying public became aware of the actual number of being audit-investigated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

If that numbers shall only be increased therefrom by ten (10) percent yearly. Then, at present, the numbers of taxpayer being subjected to multiple stresses and mental anguish may reach, more or less, to 100,000. And for a moment, let you and me pause and think for a while that each taxpayer having a Letter of Authority would only BRIBE a revenue officer of not less than P400,000 (average), then, the wasted money that went directly into the wallets of CORRUPT BIR OFFICIALS may reach to P400,000,000,000.

This didn’t happen overnight but in the span of a century (100 years).

You can’t FLY away from this stigma but your choice to be its FINANCIER or FISCALIZER would definitely FAVOUR your FAMILY.

Legal basis.

According to the Philippine Supreme Court, it is your duty to refute or make noise whenever an act or attack had been perpetuated against you. Failure to do so shall make even the revenue officer’s void actions to be true and correct. Notwithstanding, that you are being required to condemn approaches of errant and enterprising revenue officers, the Court obliges you to give them another chance by way of informing them their mistakes and misgivings so that with such opportunity, they may correct and rectify the same.

In tax case-handling business, having more friends and relatives within the BIR is no longer the best selling preposition for lawyers and CPAs or a business advantage for taxpayers. In fact, the ‘WHO YOU KNOW’ slogan is fast fading. Nowadays, more and more taxpayers are choosing those ‘WHO KNEW WHAT THEY KNOW ABOUT TAXATION.’ In that view, Katax is sharing to you his three (3) so effective SECRETS, (1) Pay attention to the BIR regulations, (2) Advertise your knowledge in taxation, and (3) Apply it wisely, correctly and on time (acronym, ‘PAA’). Furthermore, this is his professional advise to his many students and clients, ‘DON’T AND NEVER ELEVATE A REVENUE OFFICER FROM BEING A SERVANT TO A SAINT’

If you are feeling guilty, shameful of self and embarrassed because you always invite revenue officers to a very fancy lunch/dinner, provide substantial discount and freebies, give gifts even if there is no major occasion, or bribe for you are so lazy to know the truth and the rules, don’t be because there is always a way out. Change your behaviour toward them and you change your life.

In line thereto, Katax is requesting you to hear what the famous Dog Whisperer, Mr. Cesar Milan once said, ‘BECAUSE DOGS ARE HAPPY TO BE TREATED AS DOGS, DON’T TREAT THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS.’ Applying the same doctrine to your current situation, ‘BECAUSE REVENUE OFFICERS ARE SO CONTENTED AND COMFORTABLE TO BE PUBLIC SERVANTS, DON’T TREAT THEM LIKE YOUR MANAGERS, INVESTORS, CREDITORS AND VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE.’

See the picture.

Finally, another SECRET of Katax is to deny and deprive these revenue officers from seeing, hearing, holding and having any type of managerial reports and financial disclosures because these are their tools to confuse and abuse you.

Executive Summary
November 17, 2014

Historical basis.
With the inflexible regulation and audit procedures of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), the preparation and use of MANAGERIAL accounting which is preferred by many businesses and FINANCIAL accounting that is being pursued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through its agents, - Certified Public Accountants (CPA) have encountered a DEVASTATING setback.

In the words of the BIR Chief, the major disparities from these accounting approaches must strictly be reconciled with the TAX ACCOUNTING RULES. And, the entries thereof must separately written and kept in a specific book that is the reconciling book of accounts (RR 8-2007). Of course, the sum of which must also be disclosed in the NOTES TO ANNUAL INCOME TAX RETURN (1701/1702).

Legal basis.
The safeguarding of assets and maximising of profitability (managerial accounting) have consistently been your focused. Moreso, to make your investors and creditors always happy, a future-pace financial disclosures that showed a substantial growth in revenues and assets became your standard operating procedures (financial accounting). All in all, these approaches had placed you, through the years, to have an enormous taxable sales and a bigger than life net taxable income. However, in reality, you have too little (or none at all) cash to pay for your value added tax and income tax therefor.

In that view, Katax EmelinoTMaestro still believes that your managerial and financial secrets should remain and be kept 'SECRET' because these secrets have became the blueprint of so many revenue officers in harassing, oppressing, vexing or intimidating you who may, one way or the other, have (1) too little (or none at all) knowledge and knowhow, and (2) no proper communication skill to express and explain the context and meaning of your managerial reports and financial disclosures against the law-mandated TAX ACCOUNTING RULES.

Doubtlessly, because you're a law-abiding taxpayer, you are really committed to comply correctly and on time with the BIR's TAX ACCOUNTING RULES  And not to repeat again, the REAL STARTING POINT is your LITERACY IN TAX ACCOUNTING RULES which THE TALP WILL AND CAN DEFINITELY DELIVER AND PROVIDE.

Q: Why did you not personally provide the (1) Ombudsman, (2) Commissioner of Internal Revenue, (3) Regional Director of BIR Region No. 09228010922, Quezon City and (4) Chief Legal Division of BIR Region No. 09228010922, Quezon City a copy of your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903?
A: Because of the bureaucratic complexities, their respective Offices had assigned a regular employee whose regular and legal obligation is to accept and receive all the letters, protests, petitions, etc that are being filed/submitted by the taxpaying public/persons. The said employee would not allow you to have such letters, protest, petitions, etc to be filed to and accepted/received by their respective superiors/bosses for they would be charged of DERELICTION OF DUTY. Thus, to follow their Office’s prescribed procedures, I have to bring my communications directly to the person whose official duty is to accept and receive the same.

Q: You stated that you prepared, signed and filed the Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 in extinguishing your legal obligations to ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE and in complying with the laws of the State, would you please state what are these obligations and what laws of the State are you referring to?
A: According to my contract with ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE (Annex 2), the following are my obligations to it, thus.. (1) To cancel the subject matter [BIR Letter of Authority Numbered 43823 dated January 16, 2007 TY 2014] or (1) To verify the veracity of BIR assessments if such conforms with the procedural due process and are supported by laws and facts, (2) To gather information and evidences through legal researches in order to support the company’s factual and legal position on matters related to the subject, (3) To represent the company before the BIR on matters pertaining to the subject, and (4) To make ourselves available for routine consultation on matter related to the subject. Furthermore, Republic Acts No. 6770, 6713, 9485, and 8424, 1987 Administrative Code and New Civil Code are encouraging and enjoining the inhabitants of the Republic of the Philippines to inform and involve the superiors of errant and enterprising tax officials so that these superior officers may act on time and correct the acts of those errant and enterprising tax officials. Finally, I just followed the order of the Philippine Supreme Court in preparing, signing and filing my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 to the already mentioned offices as I quote its wisdom “Tax laws are civil in nature. Under our Civil Code, acts executed against the mandatory provision of law are void, except when the law itself authorizes the validity of those acts. Failure to comply with Section 228 [NIRC] does not render the assessment void, but also finds no validation in any provision in the Tax Code. We cannot condone errant or enterprising tax officials, as they are expected to be vigilant and law-abiding.”

Q: So based on your written contract with ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE, you represented ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE before the BIR?
A: Because contracts, if their provisions are not contrary to the laws of the State and would not create damages to any party, form part of the legal system of the Republic of the Philippines, I am obliged to represent ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE before the BIR. I have no choice to speak of. Yes, Sir.

Q: Because of the Philippine Supreme Court’s order that says, “We cannot condone errant or enterprising tax officials, as they are expected to be vigilant and law-abiding.”, you prepared, signed and filed your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 to the first-mentioned offices?
A: Yes, Sir.

Q: What is/are your purpose/s in preparing and signing your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903?
A: I made it clear to its recipients that my objective is “The essence is to bring justice, fair-play and transparency as well as expose, express and explain the malfeasant, misfeasant and nonfeasant actions knowingly executed by the concerned BIR Officials.” as the same is shown in its Preamble, 1st page. For this purpose and for the record, I quote the statement that can be found on page 948, Criminal Law, Book Two, 16th edition, 2006, Luis B. Reyes, “In Libel, it is essential that the intention of the offender in publishing the libellous matter was to discredit or dishonour the person allegedly libelled. If the matter charges as libellous is only an incident in an act which has another objective, the crime is not Libel.”

Q: Are you a BIR-accredited Tax Agent?
A: It is my conviction and belief that from 2001 up to the time that the BIR implemented the new procedural requirements of accrediting Tax Agents, yes, Sir.

Q: What is/are your basis/bases of being a BIR-accredited Tax Agent?
A: I can no longer locate my Tax Agent application form and its attachments but I offer the original letter of Atty Mario A Saldevar, Chief, Legal Division, Region No. 6, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Manila City dated February 27, 2009 stating among others that he signed my application and referred it to the National Accreditation Board (Annex 3). Accordingly, I explained in my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 that there are two laws which would support my contention, namely... (1) Section 18, Book VII, Non Expiration of License, 1987 Administrative Code. -Where the licensee has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature, the existing license shall not expire until the application shall have been finally determined by the agency, and (2) Section 9, Automatic Extension of Permits and Licenses, Republic Act No. 9485. -If a government office or agency fails to act on an application and/or request for renewal of a license, permit or authority subject for renewal within a prescribed period, said permit, license or authority shall automatically be extended until a decision is rendered on the application for renewal. Provided, That the automatic extension shall not apply when the permit, license, or authority covers activities which pose danger to public, health, public safety, public morals or to public policy including, but not limited to, natural resource extraction activities. These are my legal justifications for claiming that before the new BIR policies on accrediting Tax Agents have been implemented (by the generosity of the laws of the State), I was once a BIR-accredited Tax Agent. Finally as far as Tax-Agent-perjury is concerned, the Department of Justice per its Resolution to XV-03-INV-091-08725 had already acquitted me, viz; “Nonetheless, respondent’s Legal Petition Notice does not contain any allegation that he is in fact accredited. He only propose that based on the documents he submitted to the BIR, he should be considered accredited. A condition of law, hence, not per se perjurious.”

Q: Do you know the private complainant, Mr. SUPER NGUSO?
A: I don’t know him personally, Sir.

Q: As far as you know, what are the official duties and legal obligations of the private complainant?
A: I know him as the Chief, Legal Division of Region No. 09228010922, Bureau of Internal Revenue and among his duties are inscribed in Section 11, National Internal Revenue Code, as amended (NIRC). -It shall be the duty of every Revenue District Officer or other internal revenue officers and employees to ensure that all laws, and rules and regulations affecting national internal revenue are faithfully executed and complied with, and to aid in the prevention, detection and punishment of frauds of delinquencies in connection therewith and in Section 228, NIRC. -The taxpayers shall be informed in writing of the law and the facts on which the assessment is made; otherwise, the assessment shall be void. Accordingly, the Secretary of Finance, upon the recommendation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, specifically and strictly obliged him, pursuant to Revenue Administrative Order No. 10-2000 (Annex 4), to do/extinguish the following, viz; “(1) Administer regional plans, activities, standards, and other measure necessary to implement the legal prescribed by the National Office; (2) Ensure the uniform application of tax laws, regulation and court decisions; (3) Prepared and issue legal opinions based on established precedents and elevate to Legal Services cases for rulings or opinions which involve national policies or where there are no established precedents; (4) Process claims for tax credits/refund within its jurisdiction involving erroneous or illegal collection of taxes and protests involving questions of law and recommend appropriate action for approval of the Commissioner or duly authorized representative; (5) Evaluate offers of compromise settlement of assessments involving legal issues within its jurisdiction and make recommendations for approval of the Regional Evaluation Board; and (6) Assist in the conduct of hearing of administrative charges involving illegal enrichment cases against regional personnel and violation of Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act

Q: Having said so, is it safe to say that he has no power and authority to assess and collect any internal revenue tax?
A: That is an understatement, Sir. He is playing a very material and relevant role in the assessment and collection of internal revenue taxes. As you already know, Sir, the Philippine Constitution has already stated that THE RULE OF TAXATION MUST BE UNIFORM AND EQUITABLE which in my own understanding is that there must be a written-uniform rule before an assessment and collection of taxes shall knowingly be pursued. Since my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 raised factual and legal issues, I am engaging and enjoining him and his Office to resolve the said legal issues. These legal issues are (1) the irregularity of the BIR-letter of authority wherein the power to assess a tax originated and (2) the request for him to provide and supply not me but through me, the ETM TAX AGENT OFFICE, the legal basis in assessing and collecting 2014 withholding taxes. These acts/things are within the armpits/jurisdiction of the Legal Division. Regional Offices, Bureau of Internal Revenue. He is there, pursuant to Revenue Administrative Order No. 10-2000, to be the last resort of a taxpayer in cases that the latter feels and thinks that an abuse of power/authority in the assessment and collection of taxes has consciously been performed.

Q: What does the acronym ‘CLD’ refer to?
A: Chief Legal Division, Sir.

Q: Does it refer to the private complainant, Mr. SUPER NGUSO?
A: Generally speaking, Sir, it refers to all Chiefs Legal Division and not exclusively to the private complainant. However, in my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903, there are two (2) CLDs, namely SUPER NGUSO and NARROW HEADED.

Q: In your statement ‘Evidences on records showed that the RDO, GS, RO, CLD, CAD and RD had no official orders from the SOF which expressed and explained that the 2014 withholding taxes presumably determined using the jeopardy assessment is not included in the immunities provided by RA 9480’, is the term CLD referred to the private complainant?
A: No, Sir. It refers to CLD NARROW HEADED as I stated in item 5, IV. PROPOSED CONCLUSION, my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903.

Q: In your statement, ‘Clearly, the 2014 withholding deficiency tax assessment is unacceptable and illegal because it failed not only to follow the above jurisprudence but also, most importantly, the acts of RO, GS, RD, RDO, CAD and CLD violated the BIR internal rules and guidelines as shown below: a.] RMC 48-90 - Issuance of a deficiency tax assessment without verification of the taxpayer’s records is illegal and b.] RMO 16-80 - Jeopardy or table assessment should never be resorted to and report of investigation should be supported by documentary evidences and authorities.’, is the acronym ‘CLD’ meant for the private complainant?
A: No, Sir. It refers to CLD NARROW HEADED as I stated in item 5, IV. PROPOSED CONCLUSION, my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903.

Q: What do you consider your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903?
A: It is an official document intended for the use of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Q: What does the term ‘official document’ mean?
A: According to Revenue Memorandum Order No. 53-98 (Annex 5), in relation to Section 270, NIRC, all official document may not be removed or used for personal purposes without securing first the written approval form the proper authority. For conveniency, I copy-pasted Section 15, RMO 53-98, viz; “A. All records and documents in the custody of revenue officers and employees are in their custody for official purposes only. It is unlawful to remove or conceal, alter, mutilate, obliterate, or destroy records or documents or to remove with intent of performing any of the above action. Employees must not remove records and documents from official files without approval from proper authority. Working papers, copies of reports and other official records and documents shall be promptly sent to file when no longer needed for official purposes. Disposal or destruction of records and documents is to be made in accordance with established requirements, and b. Employees shall be held responsible for the loss, disappearance, or theft of official documents when attributable to negligence or carelessness. Employees are cautioned against leaving official documents unprotected in automobiles, leaving them in public conveyances, in rest rooms, in taxpayer’s offices, etc. Recovery of documents may no necessarily be a mitigating circumstance after the loss.

Q: The term ‘proper authority’ refers to whom?
A: According to Section 7, NIRC, the term ‘proper authority’ refers to the Honorable Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Q: Okay. If the official documents such as your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 was used other than for official purposes only, what would happen to the documents?
A: The unlawful use of a public/official document that is for personal purposes shall make the said document spurious or illegally acquired. Because private complainant used a BIR’s official document for personal purposes, then, it may be concluded that his primal evidence is unlawful.

Q: What was really your intention when you wrote and submitted the subject communication to the Office of the Ombudsman?
A: I wrote and submitted my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 to the Office of the Ombudsman in compliance with Republic Act No. 6770 and the National Policy ‘Magsumbong sa Ombudsman” as well as to double check if the specified and prescribed procedures of the Bureau of Internal Revenue are being diligently applied by the concerned revenue officers. Moreover, it is written on the face of the said communication my objective that is “The essence is to bring justice, fair-play and transparency as well as expose, express and explain the malfeasant, misfeasant and nonfeasant actions knowingly executed by the concerned BIR Officials.”

Q: What was really your intention when you wrote and submitted the subject communication to the Bureau of Internal Revenue?
A: I wrote and submitted my Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903 to the following offices, namely (a) Office of the Regional Director, BIR Region No. 09228010922 (b) Legal Division, of BIR Region No. 09228010922 and (c) Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, BIR National Office to propagate the following, viz; “The essence is to bring justice, fair-play and transparency as well as expose, express and explain the malfeasant, misfeasant and nonfeasant actions knowingly executed by the concerned BIR Officials.” which is clearly and completely stated on the face of the said communication.

Q: In your Legal Petition Notice dated July 11, 1903, you mentioned, ‘The Respondent, being rumored to be one of the brightest legal minds in the BIR, had shown ‘dense and dull’ in this instant case.’, what does the term “dense and dull’ mean to you?
A: I invented the word “dense and dull’ by combining the words ‘dense’, ‘and’ and ‘dull’ and enclosing them with open and close quotations. This word ‘dense and dull’ means “PUNUNG PUNO NG INIISIP KAYA NAHIRAPANG UMUNAWA.”

Q: How did the complainant arrive in thinking and describing the term ‘dense and dull’ as similar to the term ‘stupid’?
A: From the surrounding circumstances, I believe, this is how SUPER NGUSO arrive at his definition for the term ‘dense and dull’, viz;
1. First, he divided the term ‘dense and dull’ into ‘dense’ and ‘dull’ (two terms)
2. Second, for the term ‘dense’, using a computer and its internet connection, he googled it
3. Third, from the millions of websites that offer numerous synonyms for the term ‘dense’, he chose ‘http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/dense/“
4. From the said website, he picked up its synonyms, viz;
having the constituent parts massed or crowded together;
(a) close;
(b) compact;
(c) thick;
(d) containing much matter in a small space;
(e) heavy;
(f) opaque;
(g) as, a dense crowd;
(h) a dense forest;
(i) a dense fog.
(j) stupid;
(k) gross;
(l) crass;
(m) as, dense ignorance.
5. Fourth, from the above list of possible meanings of the term ‘dense’ he picked up what he thinks and believes would benefit him that is the term “stupid” which is in the eleventh (11th) place from its nearest common meaning.

Q: Do you have proof that would support your contention?
A: For this purpose, I used a computer and its internet connection. Then I typed on its browser the term ‘dense definition’. Then, twenty two million one hundred thousand (22,100,000) websites appeared. All of these websites offered a definition for the term ‘dense’.

Q: What does your exercise mean?
A: It means that the complainant, SUPER NGUSO, did not know the common meaning of the term ‘dense’. In fact, in his Judicial Affidavit notarised in February 29, 2055, he affirmed and confirmed that he only learned its meaning from the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Synonyms.

Q: Have you tried to look for the meaning of the term ‘dense’ in the same dictionary?
A: Yes, in fact, I tried the same research techniques that he usually does. I got a computer in order to connect to the website of Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Synonyms. Then, I found out that the synonyms for the term ‘dense’ do not include the word ‘stupid’, viz;
(a) compact
(b) crowded
(c) close
(d) jam-packed
(e) packed
(f) serried
(g) thick
(h) tight

Q: What can you say about that?
A: The word ‘stupid’ does not really the perceived and common meaning of the term ‘dense’. And, the twenty two million one hundred thousand (22,100,000) websites that offer a meaning or definition for the term ‘dense’ are very relevant and material evidences which tell the reader hereof that the common people, in their daily lives, do not associate the term ‘dense’ to the word ‘stupid’. It is only the complainant who is so intense to equate the term “dense” to the word “stupid”. In a democratic country, just like the Philippines, the majority shall always the winner.

Q: Before going to the other issue, do you have something to add?
A: Yes, as the Annex 6 would affirm, the website ‘http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/dense/“ cannot be located from the top three (3) pages of the Google’s search engine. This would mean that the complainant, SUPER NGUSO, consciously had chosen a website that would suit his intriguing intentions. In my mind, this is so malicious.

Q: For the term ‘dull’, how did the complainant arrive in thinking and believing that it is synonymous with the word ‘stupid’?
A: This is how SUPER NGUSO arrive at his definition for the term ‘dull’, viz;
1. First, using a computer and its internet connection, he googled it
2. Second, from the twelve million two hundred thousand (12,200,000) websites that offer numerous synonyms for the term ‘dull’, he chose ‘http://ardictionary.com/Dull/10165' (Annex 9)
3. From the said website, he picked up its synonyms, viz;
(a) slow of understanding
(b) wanting readiness of appreciation
(c) stupid
(d) doltish
(d) blockish
4. Third, from the above list of possible meanings of the term ‘dull’ he picked up what he thinks and believes would benefit him that is the term “stupid” which is in the third (3rd) place from the perceived and common meaning of the term “dull”.

Q: What can you say about that?
A: If the complainant is truly an agent of the law because he is a lawyer, he would do the best two (2) things, viz;
1. First, he would go to the Philippine Supreme Court’s website and not to any types of websites in order to search for the the term ‘dense and dull’ and not for the terms ‘dense’ and ‘dull’.
2. Lastly, he should only use one website for clarity and consistency and would not use three (3) types of websites, viz;
(a) ‘http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/dense/“
(b) ‘http://ardictionary.com/Dull/10165'
(c) ‘website of Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Synonyms’
3. Most importantly, the use of three (3) websites to locate the best-definition of the terms ‘dense’ and ‘dull’ that would suit an intriguing and personal interest is a manifestation that their meanings are not really ‘stupid’ because the perceived, standard and common meaning of a term that is usually used by Filipinos in their daily lives does not need a simple dictionary to know/apply its intended meaning.
In fact, in his Judicial Affidavit notarised in February 29, 2055, he affirmed and confirmed that he only learned its meaning from Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Synonyms.

Q: Have you tried to look for the meaning of the term ‘dull’ in the same dictionary?
A: Yes, in fact, I tried the same research techniques that he usually does (Annex 8). I got a computer in order to connect to the website of Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of Synonyms. Then, I found out that the synonyms for the term ‘dull’ do not include the word ‘stupid’, viz;
(a) blunt
(b) blunted
(c) dullied
(d) obtuse

Q: How would it affect the case at bar?
A: The Annex 9 would affirm that the website ‘http://ardictionary.com/Dull/10165' cannot be located from the top three (3) pages of the Google’s search engine. This would mean that the complainant, SUPER NGUSO, consciously had chosen a website that would suit his intriguing intentions. In my mind, this is so vengeful.

Q: Do you have anything to add?
A: Yes, this Judicial Affidavit is knowingly prepared, signed and released to amend, modify, revoke and repeal all my previously released statements that directly contradict the statements hereof as well as to support and supplement other statements that may help me to bring justice in the process. To reiterate, “In Libel, it is essential that the intention of the offender in publishing the libellous matter was to discredit or dishonour the person allegedly libelled. If the matter charges as libellous is only an incident in an act which has another objective, the crime is not Libel. (page 948, Criminal Law, Book Two, 16th edition, 2006, Luis B. Reyes)”

Attorney: That is all for the witness, Your Honor.

To all Netizens, please spread this INJUSTICE
by... Facebook.com/Kataxpayer

Attached is a letter from the Office of the Ombudsman stating that it would not accept any Legal Petition Notice (LPN) from a taxpayer because the BIR Chief has already ruled that the electronic Letter of Authority (eLA) is valid and binding. However, upon careful analysis, the legal issue being presented in the latest LPN as stated in the attached letter is about the LIFTING OF WARRANT and not the eLA.

It is understandable (and we can forgive these lawyers) if the lawyers who penned the attached letter are yet to study the rules and regulations of taxation, or in other words, they have no formal education or experience to handle the BIR practices and exercises.

The purpose of sending the Office of the Ombudsman an LPN is to keep it abreast and inform of the events and irregular and corrupt practices of so many revenue officers. To close down the avenue by way of not to accept and receive any LPN from now on is to shot down the only available remedy to a taxpayer. Please be reminded that to combat the growing thirst for revenge against the miseries being experienced by many revenue officers inside their Offices and unjust interest of many revenue officers to get the cash and material things from a taxpayer, the Office of the Ombudsman plays a very vital role.

LET GET RID OFF OF INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT'S OFFICES

JOIN THE WAR AGAINST BIR CORRUPTION AND THE NO REPLY, WRONG REPLY ATTITUDE OF MANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS by sending this to others.... Do what is best for the Philippines, please.

CPA ROBS ME?
by… Facebook.com/Kataxpayer

Closing of books of accounts and preparing the annual income tax return and financial statements are just around the corner. And, as all taxpayers knew, a service of an individual having a specialised intellect in accounting would be needed soon. It’s the time of the year when you have to be very careful in choosing what kind of accounting services are you going to pursue.

Hear the Japanese people pronounce the word ‘Love’ and you will understand it as ‘Rob’. It’s funny but annoying. For the past twenty (20) years, this is what running inside my head, “Is my CPA loving or robbing me?”

Two (2) parts of Emelino T Maestro have been discussing about the Robbing Relationship with a CPA for too long. Their conversations are summarised hereunder.

For the past several decades or so, my existing CPA solely handled the preparation of my books of accounts, annual income tax return and financial statements. And, for the same number of years, the BIR never missed a year to examine them. It’s examination is not cheap but financially draining and mentally anguishing.

I don’t know much about the ‘tax’ and ‘accounting’ things. For such, I engaged the services of a CPA to do them for me. I personally want to comply with the law of the Philippines because by doing so, I understand that I am pampering myself with respect and peace of mind. However, in my past and present situations, my CPA is not an ASSET anymore but more of a LIABILITY. I am becoming aware that CPAs should no longer be TRUSTED in doing what the BIR requires. I need someone who would NOT RECOMMEND to ‘bribe’ a revenue officer and can explain in a clear language the tax assessments, and rules and regulations which I can’t get or experience from the present CPAs.

It’s also frustrating and irritating to hear from my lawyers when I asked for their legal advise and assistance on the matters of taxation that it’s better to have a connection, - a brother, a friend, an associate, inside the BIR who would be the one in charge of fixing things for me which in the first place, should not be fixed if only my CPA really understands the BIR-requirements and my lawyers have the competence to protect me. Both has the responsibility to protect me but I can’t feel it from them. It’s a waste of money in paying these people.

I come now in a conclusion that my CPA is doing me no good but there is no other professional to help and assist me to get rid off of incompetency and negligence. I wish there is a School where I can learn by myself the simplicity of the complexities being implemented by the BIR.

Katax is curious what would hindrance you to attend and be a part of the growing number of taxpayers who believes that they can DO IT by themselves.

To provide a HOPE-GIVING OPPORTUNITY that would come up with LIFE-CHANGING CHANCES, FINANCIAL CONVENIENCE, and CAREER ADVANCEMENT to all NON-CPAs, NON-LAWYERS, ETM encourages them (you) to be his SCHOLARS to his Tax Accounting Literacy Program and Tax Consulting Course. Only 50 semi-scholars shall be accepted. Except for CPAs and LAWYERS, this offer is OPEN TO ALL. NO AGE LIMITATION. NO EDUCATIONAL RESTRICTION . To register, please place your name, email address and mobile number together with one “why you should be chosen’ paragraph at ‘Write a comment…’ space hereunder. Please follow instructions. CPAs and lawyers may choose to attend by paying the full cost of TALP and TCC in the amount of 150k each. VAT, EWT and other applicable taxes are for the account of the student.
