SyCipLaw’s Tax Department has prepared Tax Issues and Practical Solutions (T.I.P.S.) for April 2026.
The SyCipLaw T.I.P.S. covers the following tax issues:
- Can a local government unit refuse to accept a taxpayer’s tender of local business tax payments on the ground that the taxpayer has not yet paid its real property taxes?
- Does the CTA have jurisdiction over a case challenging an LGU imposition if it is in the nature of a regulatory fee, and not in the nature of a tax?
- How may a taxpayer avail of fiscal incentives under Section 38 of the Philippine Natural Gas Industry Development Act or Republic Act No. 12120?
- How may taxpayers prove that a cross-border service is not subject to income tax?
- What is the local tax treatment of Registered Business Enterprises enjoying incentives under the Tax Code as amended by the CREATE Act and CREATE MORE Act?
