Secondly, Garin cited BIRs RR No. 1-2014 dated December 17, 2013, mandating
for the submission of alphabetical list of employees/payees, which was likewise impeded
because of alleged violation of the policies of due process, the Tax Code, Securities
Regulation Code and the Data Privacy Act.
Thirdly, Garin said BIRs Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 65-2012
dated October 31, 2012, clarifying the taxability of association dues, membership fees and
other assessments/charges collected by condominium corporations suffered the same
judicial setback issued by the Makati Regional Trial Court on ground that the BIR failed
to conduct public hearings before the new tax imposition was promulgated.
The lawmaker said these same issues were raised in the issuance of RR No. 2-2014
and RMC No. 9-2014, prescribing for the new BIR forms which require supplemental
information on individual and corporate income taxpayers.
The House did not hesitate to call for an inquiry of such issuances, and requested
the BIR to stop the enforcement thereof on ground of violations of the right to privacy,
Tax Code, Bank Secrecy Law, lack of proper publication and consultation, and
administrative infeasibility thereof, said Garin.
She said other recent BIR actions which endured TRO from the SC are: the
requirement to post P3.2 billion cash bond or P4.9 billion surety bond of Rep. Emmanuel
D. Pacquiao (Lone District, Sarangani) and his wife Jinkee in connection with the P3.2
billion tax evasion case filed against them; the SCs denial of the BIR motion for
reconsideration to give a copy of the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Ne Worth
(SALN) of justices of the high tribunal, the Court of Appeals and the Court of Tax
Appeals. (30) rbb
