Practice question
A taxpayer outside the micro and small concessions deliberately submits a fraudulent return. Willful fraud is established by competent evidence, and the applicable Section 248(B) surcharge base is stipulated at P 200,000. No special relief applies. What surcharge follows?
- P 100,000 at 50%
- P 50,000 at 25% because fraud is always ordinary delay
- P 20,000 at 10% regardless of classification
- P 0 because fraud prevents civil penalties
- P 200,000 because every fraud surcharge equals principal
