As a result of forwarding the case to ROO No. 51, a letter dated April 1, 2011 was issued by respondent to notify petitioner of the designation and reassignment of Revenue Officer Narissa B. Ty to continue the examination of petitioner's records. 17 On July 21, 2011, petitioner received a Final Decision on Disputed Assessmentl8 (FDDA) dated July 18, 2011 from respondent, through Mr.

Jaime B.

Santiago, Regional Director of Revenue Region No. 8, denying petitioner's protest letter dated February 18, 2011. 19 Respondent explained that petitioner "failed to withhold taxes part of its salaries and wages in the total amount of P1,331,450.31 and should be disallowed as a deduction from gross income by merely comparing the salaries and wages per ITR and alphalist," computed as follows: 20 Salaries and Waqes per ITR p 55 374 798.44 Salaries and Wages per 54,043,348.13 Alpha list Difference P1,331,450.31 Respondent likewise alleged that "petitioner failed to reflect sources of funds amounting to P20,880,331.95 which is construed as undeclared revenue by mere assumptions and by simply comparing the income payments per Income Tax Return (ITR)/Financial Statements (FS) with the Alphalist, without looking into the nature of each transaction," as follows: 21 Total Income Payments per ITR/FS p 10,197,031.90 Total income Payments per Alphalist 31,077 363.85 Unaccounted Income Payment (P20,880,331.9S) Respondent added that "input tax carried forward to from succeeding quarter from fourth quarter of 2007 in the amount of P364,863.29 should be deducted from the(

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR allowable tax credit considering that the said amount has been forwarded to the succeeding period."22 On August 22, 2011, petitioner filed the instant Petition for Review with the Court of Tax Appeals. In response, respondent filed her Answer23 on September 26, 2011, stating the following special and affirmative defenses: "3) The assessments in question were made and issued in accordance with law, rules and regulations; 4) The Preliminary Assessment Notice dated December 28, 2010 was received by the Petitioner on December 29, 2010;

5) Under Section 228 of the Tax Code of 1997, as implemented by Revenue Regulations No. 12-99, assessment notice may be protested administratively by filing a request of reconsideration or reinvestigation, in such form and manner as may be prescribed by implementing rules and regulations, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the assessment, otherwise the assessment shall become final, executory and demandable; 6) The petitioner failed to file a valid protest within thirty (30) days from receipt of the assessments, thus, the assessments have long become final, executory and demandable; 7) Petitioner's letter dated February 18, 2011 cannot be considered as a valid protest since it cannot be considered as one disputing the assessments because Petitioner failed to substantiate their claim that the deficiency assessments are contrary to law. First, Petitioner did not actually contest the assessments because it failed to state in its February,C

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

18, 2011 letter the facts, the applicable law, rules and regulations, or jurisprudence on which its protest is based. Second, Petitioner failed to submit/present the documents in support of its protest. Petitioner should have submitted relevant documents in support of its protest, pursuant to Section 6(b) of Revenue Regulations No. 12-85. Since petitioner did not submit documents in support of its protest, the assessment against it for taxable year 2007 had become final, executory and demandable, pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of Revenue Regulations No. 12-99, which provides:

'The taxpayer shall submit the required documents in support of his protest within sixty (60) days from date of filing of his letter of protest, otherwise, the assessment shall become final, executory and demandable', and Section 228 of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, which provides: 'Within sixty (60) days from filing of the protest, all relevant supporting documents shall have been submitted; otherwise the assessment shall become final'. Hence, the assessment has become final, executory and demandable;

8) Assuming without admitting that a valid protest has been filed by herein Petitioner, nevertheless, the subject assessments had already become final, executory and demandable for failure of the Petitioner to submit the required documents in support of their protest within sixty (60) days from filing of the letter of protest pursuant to Section 228 of the Tax Code as implemented by Revenue Regulation No. 12-99; 9) The Assessment Notice dated January 14, 2011 and Final Decision on Disputed Assessment dated July 18, 2011 clearly show compliance with the requirements under Section 228 of the NIRC as implemented by Revenue Regulations No. 12-99.

Petitioner was duly informed of the facts, applicable law, rules and regulations on which the assessment was based ;t.

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

10) Assessments are prima facie presumed correct and made in good faith. The taxpayer has the duty of proving otherwise. In the absence of proof of any irregularities in the performance of official duties, an assessment will not be disturbed. (Aban, Law of Basic Taxation in the Philippines, 1st Edition, p. 109); 11) Finally, Petitioner should be reminded that taxes are important because it is the lifeblood of the government and so should be calculated without unnecessary hindrance (Commissioner vs. Algue, Inc. L-28896, 17 February 1988). Taxes are enforced proportional contribution from persons and property levied by the state, thus, no one is considered entitled to recover that which he must give up to another - Non videtur quisquam id capere quod ei necesse est alii restitutere."

On September 28, 2011, the Court issued a Notice of Pre-Trial Conference24 set on October 27, 2011. On October 21, 2011, petitioner filed its Pre-Trial Brief25 ;

while respondent filed her Pre-Trial Brief26 on October 24, 2011.

Thereafter, the parties filed their Joint Stipulation of Facts and Simplification of Issues27 on November 24, 2011, which the Court approved in its November 28, 2011 Resolution. 28 In the same Resolution, the Court declared the pre-trial terminated. Petitioner filed a Motion to Commission an Independent Certified Public Accountant29 on March 21, 2012, praying for the appointment of Ms. Ofelia Flores of OCF Business Consulting as an Independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) pursuant to CTA Circular No. 1-95, as amended by CTA Circular No. 10-97 and the Revised Rules of the Court of Tax Appeals.

During the hearing held on March 29, 2012, the Court granted petitioner's motion and directed the .c

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

Petitioner filed its Formal Offer of Evidence31 on December 4, 2012, offering Exhibits "A" to "DDDD-1", inclusive of sub-markings. In response, respondent filed her Comment (To Petitioner's Formal Offer of Evidence) 32 on December 13, 2012, stating that she has no objection to the admission of said exhibits. Acting thereon, the Court issued a Resolution33 on January 22, 2013, admitting most of the exhibits offered except Exhibits "F" "K" "EI-1" "GV-2" I I I I "NN", "NN-1", and "NN-2". Petitioner filed a Manifestation with Motion for Partial Reconsideration 34 on February 5, 2013, praying that the Court would reconsider and admit Exhibits "K", "NN", "NN- 1", and "NN-2".

"1. Whether or not the Formal Assessment Notice and Formal Letter of Demand issued against petitioner covering the taxable year 2007 is valid. (

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

2. Whether or not respondent has observed due process in the issuance of the Assessment Notice/Formal Letter of Demand against petitioner.

3. Whether or not the right of respondent to assess petitioner for alleged deficiency Value Added Tax and Withholding Tax subject matter of this case has prescribed.

4. Whether or not petitioner is liable for alleged DEFICIENCY in Income Tax in the amount of Php23,708,554.47, Value Added Tax in the amount of Php7 ,930,740. 73 and Expanded Withholding Tax in the amount of Php58,858.30, all covering taxable year 2007.

5. Whether or not the Formal Assessment Notice has become final and executory." The enumerated issues boil down to whether petitioner is liable for deficiency income tax, VAT, and EWT for the taxable year 2007.

However, the Court shall first address the question of prescription.

Section 203 of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) of 1997, as amended, mandates that respondent should issue an assessment for deficiency taxes within three

(3) years from the last day prescribed by law to file the tax return or the actual date of filing of such return, whichever comes later.

Any assessment notice issued beyond this three-year prescriptive period shall not be valid save in certain cases, to wit: "SEC. 203. Period of Limitation Upon Assessment and Collection. - Except as provided in Section 222, internal revenue taxes shall be assessed within three (3) years after the last day prescribed by law for the filing of the return, and no proceeding in court without assessment for the collection of such taxes shall be begun after the expiration of such period: Provided, That in a case where a return is file<t("

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR beyond the period prescribed by law, the three (3)- year period shall be counted from the day the return was filed. For purposes of this Section, a return filed before the last day prescribed by law for the filing thereof shall be considered as filed on such last day." (Emphasis supplied) Since the instant case involves deficiency income tax, VAT and EWT, the basis for the three-year prescriptive period varies accordingly. Income Tax As to the income tax, Section 77(B) of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, provides that the three-year period shall commence from the fifteenth (15th) day of April, or the fifteenth (15th) day of the fourth (4th) month following the close of the fiscal year, as the case may be. "SEC. 77. Place and Time of Filing and Payment of Quarterly Corporate Income Tax. - XXX XXX XXX (B) Time of Filing the Income Tax Return. - The corporate quarterly declaration shall be filed within sixty (60) days following the close of each of the first three (3) quarters of the taxable year. The final adjustment return shall be filed on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of April, or on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the fourth (4th) month following the close of the fiscal year, as the case may be." Value-added Tax In the case of VAT, the filing of Quarterly VAT Returns must be made within twenty-five (25) days after the close of each taxable quarter prescribed for each taxpayer. Hence, if the return was filed earlier than the last day allowed by law, the period to assess shall still be counted from the last day prescribed by law for filing of the return. However, if the( Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR return was filed beyond the period prescribed by law, the three-year period shall be counted from the day the return was filed. Section 114(A) of the NIRC of 1997 provides: "SEC. 114. Return and Payment of Value-added Tax.- (A) In General. - Every person liable to pay the value-added tax imposed under this Title shall file a quarterly return of the amount of his gross sales or receipts within twenty-five (25) days following the close of each taxable quarter prescribed for each taxpayer: Provided, however, That VAT-registered persons shall pay the value-added tax on a monthly basis."

Expanded Withholding Tax Section 58 of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, provides that:

"SEC.

58.

Returns and Payment of Taxes Withheld at Source. - (A) Quarterly Returns and Payments of Taxes Withheld. - Taxes deducted and withheld under Section 57 by withholding agents shall be covered by a return and paid to, except in cases where the Commissioner otherwise permits, an authorized Treasurer of the city or municipality where the withholding agent has his legal residence or principal place of business, or where the withholding agent is a corporation, where the principal office is located.

The taxes deducted and withheld by the withholding agent shall be held as a special fund in trust for the government until paid to the collecting officers.

The return for final withholding tax shall be filed and the payment made within twenty-five (25) days from the close of each calendar quarter, while the return for creditable withholding taxes shall be filed.{ ' olo-

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR and the payment made not later than the last day of the month following the close of the quarter during which withholding was made: Provided, That the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary of Finance, may require these withholding agents to pay or deposit the taxes deducted or withheld at more frequent intervals when necessary to protect the interest of the government."

(a) For both large and non-large taxpayers, the withholding tax return, whether creditable or final (including final withholding taxes on interest from any currency bank deposit and yield or any other monetary benefit from deposit substitutes and from trust funds and similar arrangements) shall be filed and payments should be made, within ten (10) days after the end of each month, except for taxes withheld for the month of December of each year, which shall be filed on or before January 15 of the following year; and except for the final capital gains tax on the sale or other onerous disposition of real property considered as capital asset which must be taken/withheld from the seller by the buyer and remitted within thirty (30) days from the date of notarization of the transfer document to the collecting agent of the RDO having jurisdiction over the place where the property is located.

Nonetheless, in case of disposition of real property classified as capital asset by an individual to the government, the tax to be imposed shall be determined either under the normal income tax rate imposed in Sec. 24(A) or under a final capital gains tax of six percent (6°/o) imposed under Sec. 24(0)(1) of the Code, at the option of the taxpayer-seller. Thus, if the seller chooses the first option, the buyer does not have to withhold the six percent (6°/o) final capital gains tax but no Certificate Authorizing Registration shall be issued for the transaction until the seller or the buyer shows the seller's filed income tax return reflecting the result of the subject real estate transaction.

(b) With respect, however, to taxpayers, whether large or non-large, who availed of the(" Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR electronic filing and payment system (EFPS), the deadline for electronically filing the applicable withholding tax returns and paying the taxes due thereon via the EFPS shall be five (5) days later than the deadlines set above, unless the EFPS regulations provide for different deadline dates and except for the final capital gains tax on the sale, barter or exchange of real property where the law fixes a definite deadline for the payment thereof." From the foregoing, the basis of the three-year prescriptive period is reckoned on the tenth (lOth) day of the month following the month the withholding was made, except for taxes withheld for the month of December which shall be filed and paid on or before January 15 of the succeeding year or the actual date of filing of such return, whichever comes later.

Consequently, only the income tax, the value- added tax for the 4th quarter, and the expanded withholding tax for the month of December can be the proper subject of respondent's assessments. In the case of Commissioner of Internal Revenue vs. FMF Development Corporation, 64 the Supreme Court held that:

"Under Section 203 of the NIRC, internal revenue taxes must be assessed within three years counted from the period fixed by law for the filing of the tax return or the actual date of filing, whichever is later.

This mandate governs the question of prescription of the government's right to assess internal revenue taxes primarily to safeguard the interests of taxpayers from unreasonable investigation. Accordingly, the government must assess internal revenue taxes on time so as not to extend indefinitely the period of assessment and deprive the taxpayer of the assurance that it will no longer be subjected to further investigation for taxes after the expiration of reasonable period of time."

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

The Court shall now proceed to determine the merits of the assessments involving petitioner's deficiency income tax for the year 2007 and deficiency VAT for the fourth quarter of 2007.

In respondent's FDDA65 dated July 18, 2011, petitioner was found liable for the following deficiency internal revenue taxes for the taxable year 2007 in the total amount of P31,698,153.50, inclusive of 20°/o interest per annum up to August 31, 2011:

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

As can be gleaned from the above computation, the assessment arose from the following items:

1. Disallowed salaries and wages due to non-withholdinq of tax

2. Unaccounted income payments

3. Undeclared revenue

4. Net operating loss carry-over (NOLCO)

5. Excess minimum corporate income tax carry-over

6. Excess credit carried-over to succeeding period

7. Unsupported creditable tax withheld 1.

Salaries and wages per ITR p 55/374 798.44 Less: Salaries and wages per Alphalist 54,043,348.13 Disallowed salaries and wages for non-withholding of tax P1,3311 450.31 Petitioner alleges that the amount of salaries and wages per ITR stated in the FLD is inaccurate and should be P55,280,455.83 per its records instead of PS5,374, 798.44. The difference should only be P1,237, 108.10 instead of P1,331,450.31, which can be reconciled as follows: Salaries and wages per Alphalist p 54 043/348.73 Add/(Less):

Retirement Pay contribution included in Alphalist (1 299 104.39) Accrual of 2006 SL/VL balance released in 2007 (1 671 297.21) Expenses not subject to withholding tax 3,355,475.98 Accrual of 2007 SL/VL balance released in 2008 852 033.72 Total p 55,280,455.83 Salaries and wages per ITR {correct) PSS,280,455.83 Difference 0

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

Petitioner then explains the above reconciling items in the following manner: 66 "28.1 The retirement pay amounting to P1,299,104.39 pertains to Petitioner's disbursements for its noncontributory and defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all its officers and employees.

Such expenses should not have been included as part of salaries and wages in the Alphalist but the petitioner inadvertently included the same. Thus, the same is not subject to withholding taxes on compensation and should be allowed as a deduction from gross income pursuant to Section 34(J) of the Tax Code, as amended. 28.2 Accrual for 2006 paid in 2007 amounting to P1,671,297 .21 pertains to accruals for 2006 for vacation/sick leave conversion that was paid in 2007 wherein the corresponding withholding tax was paid in 2007, thus, should be deducted from the salaries and wages per alphalist of 2007. 28.3 With regard to the expenses that was not included in the Alphalist amounting to P3,355,475.98, the same pertains to payment contribution to SSS, Medicare, Pag-ibig contributions and union dues in line with its policy of uplifting the general welfare and benefits of its employees. The said payments or benefits paid provided by the Petitioner for its employees are tax-exempt, and thus, should not be subject to withholding tax. Thus, should be included in the salaries and wages in the alphalist for 2007. 28.4 Accrual for 2007 paid in 2008 amounting to P852,033. 72 pertains to accruals for 2007 for vacation/sick leave conversion that was paid in 2008 wherein the corresponding withholding tax was paid in 2008, thus, should be considered in the salaries and wages per alphalist of 2007 for reconciliation with the salaries and wages per ITR."{

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

This Court finds the disallowance proper. A perusal of petitioner's Annual Income Tax Return 67 for the taxable year 2007 shows that the amount of P55,374,798.44 and not P55,280,455.83 was reflected as Direct Charges-Salaries, Wages and Benefits.

Based on its reconciliation schedule, petitioner deducted from the amount of P54,043,348. 73 salaries and wages per Alphalist, the amounts of P1,299,104.39 and P1,671,297 .21 representing alleged retirement pay and accrual for 2006 for vacation/sick leave conversion that was paid in 2007, respectively, indicating that these figures were included per Alphalist but did not form part of its alleged salaries and wages of P55,280,455.83 per its 2007 ITR. Petitioner submitted documents proving payment of the amount of P1,203,459. 75 as retirement pay to the following employees:

PAYEE AMOUNT EXHIBIT Maida S. Briones p 456 093.75 "LL" to " LL-2" Lito L.

As regards the alleged 2006 accrual of sick leave/vacation leave (SL/VL) in the amount of P1,671,297.21 that was paid in 2007, no document was presented by petitioner in order for this Court to validate the said amount.

Neither did petitioner provide a schedule as reference thereof.C

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

In its reconciliation schedule, petitioner also added to the P54,043,348. 73 salaries and wages per Alpha list, the amounts of P3,355,475.98 and P852,033.72 supposedly representing expenses not subject to withholding tax and accrual of 2007 SL/VL balance released in 2008, respectively, signifying that these were not included in its Alphalist but were claimed as part of its salaries and wages per ITR.

Petitioner avers that the amount of P3,355,475.98 pertains to the employer's share of SSS, Philhealth and Pag- ibig contributions and other benefits for its employees which are tax-exempt.

Indeed, contributions remitted to SSS, Medicare (Philhealth), and Pag-ibig are excluded from the computation of taxable income, thus, not subject to withholding tax.

Section 32(B)(7) of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, provides:

"SEC. 32. Gross Income. - XXX XXX XXX (B) Exclusions from Gross Income.

- The following items shall not be included in gross income and shall be exempt from taxation under this title: XXX XXX XXX

(7) Miscellaneous Items. - XXX XXX XXX (f) G5I5, 555, Medicare and Other Contributions. - GSIS, 555, Medicare and Pag-ibig contributions, and union dues of individuals.'~

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

However, other than the Tentative Trial Balance68 as of December 31, 2007, nothing more was presented by petitioner to establish its claim. Petitioner should have submitted proof of remittance of contributions to SSS, Philhealth, and Pag-ibig. Regarding the alleged accrual of 2007 SL/VL, petitioner's Tentative Trial Balance as of December 31, 2007 shows the following debits to sick leave/vacation leave totaling to P740,240.65: ACCOUNT NO.

No supporting documents were submitted by petitioner to show that the amount of P740,240.65 was paid in the next taxable year. Considering petitioner's failure to reconcile the discrepancy of P1,331,450.31 in its salaries and wages as.('

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR reflected in its Alphalist and as shown in its ITR, respondent's disallowance of the said amount shall be upheld.

2.

Unaccounted Income Payments - P20,880,331.95 Respondent's examiner compared the income payments per petitioner's ITR/financial statements (FS) as against those shown per petitioner's Alphalist and considered the difference in the amount of P20,880,331.95 as petitioner's undeclared income, computed as follows:

Since the expenses reflected per petitioner's Alphalist were higher than the amounts reported in its ITR/FS, respondent concluded that the difference pertains to petitioner's undeclared income. By doing so, respondent merely relied on assumptions without obtaining any evidence corroborating such findings. This is contrary to the doctrine laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Collector of Internal Revenue vs. Benipayo, 69 wherein it was held that:(

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

"(A)n assessment fixes and determines the tax liability of a taxpayer. As soon as it is served, an obligation arises on the part of the taxpayer concerned to pay the amount assessed and demanded. Hence, assessments should not be based on mere presumptions no matter how reasonable or logical said presumptions may be. xxx In order to stand the test of judicial scrutiny, the assessment must be based on actual facts. The presumption of correctness of assessment being a mere presumption cannot be made to rest on another presumption xxx" Even if these alleged unaccounted income payments are to be treated as income, the same shall be offset by reporting the equivalent payments as expenses. Hence, no taxable income will result from the said transactions, as illustrated below:

For lack of factual basis, the deficiency income tax assessment pertaining to the alleged undeclared income from unaccounted income payments of P20,880,331.95 should be cancelled.

3.

Undeclared Revenue- P6,043,841.73 The alleged undeclared income of petitioner in the amount of P6,043,841. 73 was based on the examiner's analysis of petitioner's Accounts Receivable beginning and ending balances, as shown below: Accounts receivable, beginning (net of VAT) p 39,970 823.21 Add: Revenue during the year 72,094 025.00 Total p 112,064 848.21 Less: Accounts receivable, ending (net of VAT) 98,202,540.18 Gross receipts per review p 13,862 308.04 Gross receipts per VAT returns 19,906,149.77 Undeclared Revenue (1'6,043,841. 73) As correctly found by the Court-commissioned Independent CPA, respondent's computation of the undeclared income is based on petitioner's Unaudited FS and that respondent picked up the amount of "Trade & Other Receivables" (net of VAT) per Tentative Balance Sheets70 as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. A scrutiny of petitioner's Tentative Trial Balance71 as of December 31, 2007 reveals that the Accounts Receivable, ending (net of VAT) in the amount of P98,202,540.18 per the examiner's computation comprised of the following: A/R Trade - Management A/R Non-Trade Clearing Account Advances to Officers & Employees Receivable from Employees A/R Non-Trade Others Total 70 Exhibit "0".

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

Based on the table above, the Advances to Officers and Employees in the amount of P75,619.24 and Receivable from Employees in the amount of P499,657 .07 shall be excluded in determining petitioner's taxable gross receipts. Thus, the Accounts Receivable, ending (net of VAT) for purposes of computing petitioner's taxable gross receipts amounts to P97,627,263.62, broken down as follows:

On the other hand, the composition of the Accounts Receivable, beginning (net of VAT) in the amount of P39,970,823.21 per the examiner's computation cannot be verified from the records because petitioner did not submit its Tentative Trial Balance as of December 31, 2006. As a result, the amount of P39,970,823.21 used by respondent's examiner as Accounts Receivable, beginning (net of VAT) shall remain.

Adopting the examiner's method in computing the purported undeclared revenue but using the amount of P39,970,823.21 as Accounts Receivable, beginning (net of VAT) and the amount of P97,627,263.62 as Accounts Receivable, ending (net of VAT), petitioner's gross receipts per review would be P14,437,584.59, which is an amount lower by P5,468,565.18 when compared with the gross receipts of P19,906,149. 77 declared per petitioner's 2007 Quarterly VAT Returns, thus:

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

Accounts receivable, beginning (net of VAT) Add: Revenue during the year Total Less: Accounts receivable, ending (net of VAT) Gross receipts per review Gross receipts per VAT returns Difference Page 76 p 39,970,823.21 72 094 025.00 P112,064 848.21 97,627 263.62 p 14 437 584.59 19,906,149.77 (1'5,468,565.18) Since petitioner failed to account for the discrepancy in gross receipts of P5,468,565.18, the same shall be treated as petitioner's undeclared revenue for the taxable year 2007.

Consequently, petitioner shall be held liable to pay the corresponding deficiency income tax.

4. Net operating loss carry-over (NOLCO)- P1,222,485.80

5. Excess minimum corporate income tax carry-over - P248,421.42

6. Excess credit carried over to succeeding period - P23,688,886.89 Respondent treated the NOLCO of P1,222,485.80, Minimum Corporate Income Tax (MCIT) of P248,421.42, and excess credits of P23,688,886.89 as additions to petitioner's taxable income for the year 2007 on the basis that the tax benefit therefrom had already been forwarded to the succeeding years.

However, respondent failed to present evidence to prove that petitioner used its 2007 net loss as NOLCO in the succeeding year. Assuming arguendo that petitioner actually deducted its 2007 net loss as NOLCO in the succeeding year and the said deduction was not proper as petitioner did not incur net loss, the same can only be the subject of assessment when it was claimed as deduction in the C

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR succeeding year and not in the year 2007, for such is beyond the scope of the present assessment. Hence, adding back the net loss amount of P1,222,485.80 to petitioner's taxable income for the year 2007 is erroneous. The same holds true with the MCIT of P248,421.42 and excess tax credits of P23,688,886.89. It was improper for respondent to disallow the said amounts because any tax benefit derived by petitioner from the carry-over redounds to the succeeding year 2007. Since the tax benefit will be in the succeeding year, at most, petitioner may only be assessed in the said succeeding year.

7. Unsupported creditable tax withheld- P4,264,313.71 Respondent disallowed petitioner's claimed creditable tax withheld in the amount of P4,264,313. 71 on the ground that it was not supported with sufficient evidence in violation of Section 2.58.3(B) of Revenue Regulations No. 02-98, as amended.

To refute respondent's findings, petitioner submitted various Certificates of Creditable Tax Withheld at Source (BIR Form No. 2307) 72 for the year 2007 which were examined by the Independent CPA. As aptly found by the Independent CPA, the certificates reflected creditable withholding taxes in the amount of P6,531,002.36, 73 which far exceeds the amount of P4,264,313. 71 disallowed by respondent.

As a consequence, petitioner may validly claim the amount of P4,264,313. 71 as tax credits for the year 2007. In sum, notwithstanding petitioner's disallowed salaries and wages in the amount of P1,331,450.31 and undeclared revenues of P5,468,565.18, the income tax due thereon '

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR shall . be offset against petitioner's total tax credits of P23,937,308.31. Ergo, petitioner would not be liable for any deficiency income tax for the taxable year 2007, as shown below:

DEFICIENCY VAT Respondent computed the deficiency VAT assessment ofP7,930,740.73 by adding the alleged unaccounted income payments in the amount of P20,880,331.95 to petitioner's VATable sales per VAT returns for the year 2007, by disallowing petitioner's claimed input taxes in the amount of P2, 106,725.31, and by adding back petitioner's excess input tax credit carried over to succeeding period in the amount of P365,863.29, as shown below: VATable sales per VAT returns P19,906,149.77 Add Unaccounted income payments 20,880,331.95 Taxable Sales per audit P40,786,481.72 Output Tax p 4,894,377.81 Less Creditable Input Tax Input tax for the year p 2,106 725.31 Less: Disallowed Input Tax 2,106,725.31 Excess credit carried over to succeeding period 365,863.29 (365,863.29) VAT Due p 5,260 241.10 Less VAT payments 647 875.95

Respondent concluded that petitioner had earned income which it failed to declare. As discussed earlier, the assessment is devoid of merit as it was based merely on respondent's inference that the difference between the expenses reflected per petitioner's Alphalist vis-a-vis the amounts reported in its ITR/FS represents petitioner's alleged undeclared income.

2. Excess input tax carried over to succeeding period - P365,863.29 Finding that petitioner's excess input tax of P365,863.29 was carried over to the succeeding year, respondent disallowed the said amount from petitioner's total allowable tax credit for the year 2007. It was improper for respondent to disallow the amount of P365,863.29 because any tax benefit derived by petitioner from the carry-over of the said amount redounds to the succeeding year 2008. Hence, at most, petitioner may only be assessed in the said succeeding year.

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

Respondent disallowed petitioner's claimed input VAT related to all its purchases during the year in the amount of P2,106,725.31 due to alleged failure of petitioner to substantiate the claim with valid evidence pursuant to Sections 110 and 113 of the NIRC of 1997, as amended. Since the deficiency VAT assessment for the first three quarters of 2007 already prescribed, only the amount corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2007 shall be considered for review. In its Quarterly VAT Return filed with the BIR for the fourth quarter of 2007, petitioner reflected the following: VA Table Tax Tax Still Year Sales/ Output Input Net VAT Credits/ Payable/ 2007 Receipts VAT VAT Payable Payments (Overpayment) 4th Qtr 7 051,088.33 846,130.60 966 354.33 (120 223.73) 255 681.41 (375 905.14) The Independent CPA reported that she was able to verify petitioner's VATable purchases of P15,994,468.54 with the related input VAT of P1,919,336.22 74 for the taxable year 2007.

A careful evaluation of petitioner's supporting documents reveals that out of the P1,919,336.22 input VAT for the year 2007 verified by the Independent CPA, only the amount of P584,062.90 pertains to the fourth quarter of 2007, detailed as follows: Supporting Date Supplier Amount VAT Document Advance Computer 04-0ct-07 Forms Inc.

DEFICIENCY EWT Respondent assessed petitioner of deficiency EWT for the taxable year 2007 in the amount of P58,858.30, computed as follows:

Basic Deficiency Tax p 34/122.30 Add: interest 24,736.00 Total amount Due PS8,858.3D

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR

She arrived at the basic deficiency EWT of P34, 122.30 by comparing petitioner's purchase of Office Supplies as well as Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) per ITR/FS with those shown per petitioner's Alphalist, to wit: INCOME

PER ITR/FS

PER DISCREPANCY RATE

EWT DUE

PAYMENTS ALPHALIST Purchase of local goods Office Supplies p 946,839.48 Acquisition of property and 7,011,207.09 equipment TOTAL P7 ,958,046.57 P4,545,816.18 P3,412,230.39 1°/o P34,122.30 Accordingly, this Court finds the assessment proper. A perusal of the case records shows that the amount of P946,839.48 was actually claimed by petitioner as deduction for office supplies in its 2007 ITR75 and that the amount of P7 ,011,207.09 represents petitioner's acquisition of PPE for the taxable year 2007 as reflected in its Tentative Balance Sheetl6 as of December 31, 2007. However, petitioner did not provide a detailed breakdown of the said amounts to reconcile the same with the income payments reflected in its Alphalist for the taxable year 2007. Consequently, the income payments in the sum of P7,958,046.57 shall be considered subject to 1°/o EWT under Section 2.57 .2 of Revenue Regulations No. 2-98, as amended;

and since only the income payment of P4,545,816.18 was subjected to 1 °/o EWT, petitioner is liable for the corresponding deficiency 1 °/o EWT in the amount of P34,122.30.

It must be noted that while respondent's right to assess petitioner of the deficiency EWT for the months of January to November 2007 had already prescribed, petitioner was unable to point out which portion of the basic deficiency EWT assessment of P34, 122.30 refers to the months of January(

Armadillo Holdings, Inc. vs. CIR to November 2007.

DISSENTING OPINION

DEL ROSARIO, PJ.:

In her ponencia, my esteemed and learned colleague, the Honorable Associate Justice Cielito N. Mindaro-Grulla, partially granted the Petition for Review filed by petitioner Armadillo Holdings, Inc. by cancelling the income ta)( assessment in the amount of Php23,708,554.47 and upholding the deficiency VAT and EWT assessment in the total amount of Php754,818.99.

With all due respect, after a careful e)(amination of the pertinent facts of the case, in relation to applicable laws and jurisprudence, I vote to dismiss the present Petition for Review and uphold the assessment of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for the following reasons: The protest letter is void and without force and effect.

Section 228 of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) of 1997, as amended, provides:

"SEC. 228. Protesting of Assessment. - When the Commissioner or his duly authorized representative finds that proper taxes should be {)4 Dissenting Opinion assessed, he shall first notify the taxpayer of his findings: provided, however, That a preassessment notice shall not be required in the following cases:

XXX XXX XXX.

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. Within a period to be prescribed by implementing rules and regulations, the taxpayer shall be required to respond to said notice. If the taxpayer fails to respond, the Commissioner or his duly authorized representative shall issue an assessment based on his findings. Such assessment may be protested administratively by filing a request for reconsideration or reinvestigation within thirty (30) days from receipt of the assessment in such form and manner as may be prescribed by implementing rules and regulations. Within sixty (60) days from filing of the protest, all relevant supporting documents shall have been submitted; otherwise, the assessment shall become final. XXX XXX xxx." (Emphasis supplied) Corollary thereto, Section 3.1.5 of Revenue Regulations No. 12-99 1 provides:

"3.1.5 Disputed Assessment. - The taxpayer or his duly authorized representative may protest administratively against the aforesaid formal letter of demand and assessment notice within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt thereof. xxx The taxpayer shall state the facts, the applicable law, rules and regulations, or jurisprudence on which his protest is based, otherwise, his protest shall be considered void and without force and effect. xxx XXX XXX XXX.

If the taxpayer fails to file a valid protest against the formal letter of demand and assessment notice within thirty (30) days from date of receipt thereof, the assessment shall become final, executory and demandable." (Emphases supplied) Pursuant to the above provisions, the protest letter must state the facts, the applicable law, rules and regulations or jurisprudence on which the protest is based. Failure to comply therewith shall render the protest letter void and without force and effect. ~ 1 Dated September 6, 1999.

Dissenting Opinion

In this regard, a careful scrutiny of the protest letter shows that petitioner failed to state the facts and applicable law on which the protest is based. Petitioner merely attached reconciliation schedules, and did not even submit any documents in support of the said schedules, viz.: "February 18, 2010 Mr. Jaime B. Santiago Regional Director Revenue region No. 8 Makati City Dear Sir:

Glory to GOD!

This is in reference to your Formal Assessment Notice for LOA # 00001046 dated January 14, 2011 which we received on January 20, 2011 covering 2007 deficiency tax, we would like to submit the following reconciliations for your copy and review:

1. Reconciliation of Deficiency Tax.

2. Analysis on Withholding Tax- Compensation (Sched1).

3. Reconciliation of Unaccounted Income Payments (Sched 2).

4. Reconciliation of Undeclared Revenue (Sched 3). We are available at your most convenient time and place to explain the above analysis and reconciliations. Please call us at our cell nos. 0917- 890-7796 for Len Grande and 0917-8913663 for Mhina Simafranca. Thank you and God Bless You. (signed) Eleanor B. Grande Group Accounting Manager" Pursuant to Section 228 of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, and as implemented by Revenue Regulations 12-99, the protest letter is void and without force and effect. Petitioner did not only fail to state the applicable law, rules and regulations or jurisprudence on which its protest is based; it also failed to substantiate, with relevant supporting documents, the reconciliation schedules which petitioner submitted to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). There is no denying that in the Final Decision on Disputed Assessment 2 (FDDA), the BIR emphasized that petitioner failed to submit l}1 2 Exhibit "12", BIR Records, pp. 291 to 294.

Dissenting Opinion the documents in support of its protest within sixty ( 60) days from the date of filing of the protest. Since the petitioner failed to file a valid protest against the subject Final Assessment Notices (FANs), the FANs have become final, executory and demandable The protest letter was belatedly filed. Pursuant to the afore-quoted provision of Section 228 of the NIRC of 1997, as amended, a valid protest must be filed with thirty (30) days from receipt of the assessment notice. In its protest, petitioner alleges that it received the FANs on January 20, 2011. This allegation, however, is completely belied by the BIR records. A perusal of the BIR records shows that petitioner received the FANs, dated January 14, 2011, on the same date. 3 Petitioner, therefore, had until February 13, 2011 to file a protest. Petitioner filed its protest only on February 18, 2011, which is five (5) days beyond the 30-day reglementary period within which to file the same. It is true that the FANs, as can be found in the BIR Records, have not formally offered as evidence by either of the parties. Although the rule is that "evidence not formally offered during the trial cannot be used for or against a party litigant", but once the BIR records are elevated to this Court, they form part of the records of the case which the Court may aptly consider in deciding the case. Section 5(b) of the Revised Rules of the Court of Tax Appeals provides:

"(b) Transmittal of records.- The respondent Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Commissioner of Customs, the Secretary of Finance, the Secretary of Agriculture, or the Secretary of Trade and Industry, within ten days after filing an answer, the chairman of the Central Board of Assessment Appeals and the presiding judges of the Regional Trial Courts, within ten days from receipt of notice, shall certify and forward to the Court all the records of the case in their possession, with the pages duly numbered, and, if the records are in separate folders, then the folders will also be numbered. If there are no records, such fact shall be manifested to the Court within the same period of ten days. xxx" ~ 3 See BIR Records, pp. 279 to 286.

Dissenting Opinion

In Commissioner of Customs v. Court of Tax Appeals, et al. , 4 the Supreme Court ruled that records of the proceedings before the Collector of Customs form part of the records of the case which the Court can properly consider. Applying the principle laid down in Commissioner of Customs to the present case, I am of the humble view that this Court can consider the BIR Records in deciding the case since the administrative proceedings before the BIR is not rendered inexistent when an appeal is filed before this Court.

Considering that the protest is void and without force and effect for failure to state the factual and legal basis and for having been filed way beyond the 30-day prescribed period, the FANs have long become final and executory. In fine, this Court has no jurisdiction to take cognizance of the Petition for Review filed by petitioner. For all the foregoing, I vote to dismiss the present Petition for Review for lack of jurisdiction. Presiding Justice 4 G.R. No. 132929, July 3, 2000.
