May 22, 1958 BIR RULING NO. 297-58 2nd Indorsement Respectfully returned to the Honorable, the Executive Secretary, Malacaang , Manila. Crude or raw rubber which has undergone the process of manufacturing as defined in Section 194(x) of the Tax Code, when sold, bartered, or exchanged by the producer or owner of the land where produced, is subject to the 7% sales tax prescribed in Section 186 of the National Internal Revenue Code. The contention of the taxpayer that crude rubber is an agricultural product cannot be sustained inasmuch as the term agricultural product does not include those which have undergone the process of manufacturing as defined in Section 194(x) of the Tax Code.
