REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO.

11-2020

Further clarifies certain issues on Tax Amnesty on

Delinquencies thereby amending and supplementing

Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 57-2019.

The tax liabilities covered by the Final

Assessment Notice (FAN)/Formal Letter of

Demand (FLD) or Final Decision on Disputed

Assessment (FDDA), which was timely protested

or disputed, but such protest to the FAN/FLD or

appeal to the FDDA, as the case may be, was

withdrawn at any time on or before April 23, 2020

are considered delinquent account qualified for

Tax Amnesty, provided that the delinquent

account pertains to taxable year 2017 and prior

years.

The effect of the withdrawal of the protest

or appeal to the FAN/FLD or FDDA, respectively,

is that as if no protest or appeal was filed, and

therefore, the assessment contained therein

becomes final and executory thereby delinquent,

upon the lapse of the thirty (30)-day period,

reckoned from receipt of such FAN/FLD or FDDA,

within which to file a protest or appeal, as the

case may be.

Continuation.. Continuation..

QUALITY ASSURANCE BULLETIN I FEBRUARY 2020 Edition 6

In such case, the FAN/FLD or FDDA,

whose protest or appeal was subsequently

withdrawn, should have been received at the

latest, on March 25, 2019, to be considered

delinquent on or before April 24, 2019.

The tax liabilities covered by the Final

Assessment Notice (FAN)/Formal Letter of

Demand (FLD) or Final Decision on Disputed

Assessment (FDDA), which was timely protested

or disputed, but such protest to the FAN/FLD or

appeal to the FDDA, as the case may be, was

withdrawn at any time on or before April 23, 2020

are considered delinquent account qualified for

Tax Amnesty, provided that the delinquent account

pertains to taxable year 2017 and prior years. The

effect of the withdrawal of the protest or appeal to

the FAN/FLD or FDDA, respectively, is that as if no

protest or appeal was filed, and therefore, the

assessment contained therein becomes final and

executory thereby delinquent, upon the lapse of

the thirty (30)-day period, reckoned from receipt of

such FAN/FLD or FDDA, within which to file a

protest or appeal, as the case may be. In such

case, the FAN/FLD or FDDA, whose protest or

appeal was subsequently withdrawn, should have

been received at the latest, on March 25, 2019, to

be considered delinquent on or before April 24,

2019.

The following are the instances wherein

the protest to the FAN/FLD or appeal to the

FDDA are considered invalid, making the

assessment final and executory and therefore,

delinquent:

a. The protest to FAN/FLD was filed

beyond 30 days from receipt of the

FAN/FLD;

b. The appeal to FDDA was filed be-

yond 30 days from receipt of the

FDDA;

c. The protest to FAN/FLD was not

filed with the duly authorized repre-

sentative of the Commissioner of

Internal Revenue (CIR) who signed

the FAN/FLD;

d. The appeal to the FDDA was not

filed with the Office of CIR;

e. The protest/appeal failed to state

the applicable law, rules and

regulations or jurisprudence on

which it is based;

f. The request for reinvestigation did

not specify the newly discovered or

add evidence which the taxpayer

intends to present as required in a

valid protest.

An invalid protest or appeal does not

toll the running of the 30-day

prescriptive period to file such protest

or appeal. Accordingly, the assessment

becomes final and executory after the

lapse of such 30-day prescriptive

period, reckoned from receipt of the

FAN/FLD or FDDA.
