Any person/taxpayer, natural or juridical, may settle through this Abatement Program any delinquent account or assessment which has been released as of June 30, 2006, by paying an amount equal to 100% of the Basic Tax assessed with the Accredited Agent Bank (AAB) 2 of the RDO/LTS/Large Taxpayers District Office (LTDO) that has jurisdiction over the taxpayer. In the absence of an AAB, payment may be made with the Revenue Collection Officer(RCO)/Deputized Treasurer of the RDO that has jurisdiction over the taxpayer. After payment of the basic tax, the assessment for penalties/surcharge and interest shall be cancelled by the concerned BIR office following existing rules and procedures. Thereafter, the docket of the case shall be forwarded to the Office of the Commissioner, through the Deputy Commissioner for Operations Group, for issuance of Termination Letter. Provided, however, that this Abatement Program shall not be available to taxpayers who may have already paid any portion of increments (surcharge, interest, etc.) on their tax liabilities, and to tax cases on which the PCGG has an interest. All applications shall be filed, accepted and processed with the following offices: a. Revenue District Office – for Regional Office cases under its jurisdiction; b. Assessment Division – for Regional Office cases with administrative protest; c. Legal Division – for Regional Office cases with judicial protest or for judicial action or with administrative protest involving legal issues; d. Collection Service – for delinquent accounts under the jurisdiction of the BIR National Office other than LTS cases; e. Large Taxpayers Service (LTS) – for Large Taxpayers cases under the jurisdiction of the LTS; f. Legal Service – for National Office cases that are for judicial action or with judicial protest and/or administrative protest involving legal issue; g. Enforcement Service – for tax cases handled by the National Investigation Division of the National Office. The office which has possession of the docket of the case shall receive and process applications for abatement of penalties/surcharge and interest on delinquent accounts and assessed tax cases. Upon filing of the application for/acceptance of the offer to avail of the Abatement Program, the amount offered in complete settlement of the delinquent account/assessed tax cases shall be paid with the AABs located within the jurisdiction of the RDO/LTS/LTDO where the taxpayer is registered. In the absence of AABs, the payment may be made to the RCO/Deputized Treasurer of the City/Municipality of the RDO/LTDO that has jurisdiction over the taxpayer. Staggered payments of the amounts payable under this Program may be considered on a case to case basis in accordance with the existing regulations of the BIR upon approval of the Regional Director for regional cases, and concerned Assistant Commissioner of Internal Revenue (ACIR for LTS, Collection, Legal, or Enforcement) for National Office cases. Nonetheless, cases pending in courts shall not be withdrawn unless the concerned taxpayer shall fully pay 100% of the basic tax. If the amount, as abated, is not paid as required, the approved staggered payment is automatically nullified and the delinquent account or the assessment shall be reverted to the original amount which includes the statutory increments incident to delinquency, which shall be collected through the summary remedies and/or judicial processes provided for by law. These Regulations shall remain in force until October 31, 2006 subject to extension by the CIR on meritorious grounds.
