Practice question: Compromise and Tax Amnesty

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A taxpayer offers 40% of a P2 million basic assessed tax in a doubtful-validity compromise. It argues that meeting the ordinary minimum removes the need for Evaluation Board approval. Is it correct?
  1. Yes, because the rate always overrides the amount threshold.
  2. Yes, because only offers below 10% need approval.
  3. Yes, because doubtful validity eliminates all approval requirements.
  4. No. The basic tax exceeds P1 million, independently triggering Board approval.
  5. No, because compromise is never legally possible.
