Philippine Court Bars VAT Deficiency Collection Due to Expired Three-Year Prescriptive Period

  • The Court of Tax Appeals clarified the validity of a VAT deficiency assessment against a sole proprietor.
  • The taxpayer argued the collection was time-barred due to the three-year prescriptive period.
  • The CIR claimed the assessment was presumed correct and should stand.
  • The court ruled the three-year prescriptive period applied, was not suspended, and the CIR failed to collect within this period.
  • As a result, the collection of deficiency taxes was barred by prescription.
