Practice question: Tax Refund and Tax Credit

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A taxpayer receives an actual full denial in 2026 of a refund application filed that year. It skips reconsideration and waits until day 25 to file directly with the CTA, invoking an older summary that says denial always starts a direct 30-day appeal. Assume no exceptional circumstance. Which current rule is decisive?
  1. A request for reconsideration was required within 15 days; failure renders the denial final under Section 112(C)
  2. The old summary overrides CREATE MORE
  3. Every filing within 90 days of denial is timely
  4. Reconsideration is prohibited in all VAT claims
  5. The refund is automatically approved because it was disputed
