CITATIONS
• CTA En Banc 1801 & 1808
3rd party matching discrepancy
failure to lay down factual basis of
findings
failure of BIR to inform TP on
factual basis of items in assessment
will result in
nullification of assessment
CIR VS. GREEN VALLEY MARKETING CORP,
CTA EB CASE NO. 1801 & 1808 [OCT 14, 2019]
presumptive in nature
mislaid notion that undeclared purchases
would be similar to hidden income
to be valid, there must be clear proof of
realized income & such was received by TP
BIR is required to verify amounts it obtained from its
computerized/3rd party matching by securing
confirmation or certification from 3rd party info
source, or from externally-sourced data
received
such gain or profit was
by TP actually or
constructively
it is not exempted by law or treaty from
income tax
WHEN NO THIRD PARTY MATCHING
WAS DONE BY THE BIR
• CTA Case No. 8991, December 17, 2019
Info of BIR was unverified
BIR did not secure required certifications
or confirmation to support integrity of
amounts per RELIEF
TP is free to deduct from its gross
income lesser amount or not to
claim any deduction at all
What is prohibited by income tax law is to
claim deduction beyond amount
authorized
SC CASE G.R. NO. L-46644
assessment should not be based on mere
presumptions no matter how reasonable
or logical said presumptions may be
assessment must be based on actual facts
presumption of correctness of
assessment being a mere
presumption cannot be made to
rest on another presumption
CTA CASE NO. 7540
no taxable income results from undeclared
expenses because it rests on mere
presumption
even if alleged undeclared expenses were
to be considered as income, the same
would be offset by recording the
equivalent expenses
Hence, such alleged undeclared expenses
will not result in taxable income
no deficiency VAT assessment should
arise from under-declared purchases
BIR must prove that TP was or
ought to be paid in
consideration for sale
& not when said TP purchases or
disburses cash to purchase goods or
properties
SHIFTING THE BURDEN!
Assessment must fail if TP is able to prove
that the sole basis of assessment is
an unverified &unauthenticated document
without any support of externally-sourced
data &
that discrepancy between amounts
appearing in tax returns was a
result only of erroneous posting committed
by withholding agent
