Practice question
A taxpayer files a request based solely on legal arguments and existing records. It neither seeks nor submits new evidence. The BIR automatically treats the request as reinvestigation solely to claim that a fresh sixty-day evidence period and every reinvestigation consequence necessarily apply. Which approach is correct?
- Every request is a reinvestigation regardless of substance
- Only the heading font determines the request
- Identify the actual protest form: reconsideration on existing records differs from reinvestigation based on additional evidence, and the applicable consequences must be tested separately
- No form of administrative protest exists
- Any reconsideration automatically grants exemption
