American Express International, Inc.-Philippine Branch v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

[C.T.A. CASE NO. 5209. December 22, 1997.] AMERICAN EXPRESS INTERNATIONAL, INC. PHILIPPINE BRANCH , petitioner , vs . COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE , respondent . D E C I S I O N Case at bar refers to a claim for refund of value added tax (VAT) input taxes paid on domestic purchases of taxable goods and services amounting to P2,351,304.81 covering the period March 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Petitioner is a Philippine branch of American Express International, Inc. (AMEX), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., with office address at the Ground Floor, ACE Building, corner Rada Village, Makati City. Its function is primarily to facilitate collection of AMEX receivables from card members situated in the Philippines and payment to service establishments in the Philippines. It is registered as a Value Added Tax entity and was issued VAT Registration Certificate No. 088445 (Exh. "A-1"; p. 59, CTA rec.). For the period from March 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993, petitioner realized revenues in the amount of P50,325,150.14 which it claimed to be zero-rated as they were paid for in foreign currency inwardly remitted to the Philippines and accounted for in accordance with Central Bank rules and regulations. For the same period, petitioner paid VAT input taxes on its domestic purchases of taxable goods and services amounting to P2,351,304.81, alleged to be attributable to its zero-rated revenue of P50,325,150.14. As the said VAT input taxes are duly supported by VAT-registered sales invoices and/or official receipts issued by petitioner's suppliers in accordance with Section 108(a) and 238 of the Tax Code, and moreover, have not been used to pay any VAT output tax on, January 31, 1995 petitioner filed a written claim for refund with the BIR's VAT Division in the amount of P2,351,304.81. The claim, not having been acted upon by respondent, was lodged with this Court on March 2, 1995. dctai Respondent filed her Answer on May 11, 1995 alleging the following special and affirmative defenses (pp. 22-23, CTA rec.), to wit: "8. Petitioner's claim for refund of VAT input taxes is pending administrative investigation; 9. In an action for tax refund/credit the burden of proof is upon the taxpayer to establish his right to the refund and failure to do so is fatal to the action for tax credit; 10. It is incumbent upon the petitioner to show that it has complied with the provisions of Section 106 in relation to Section 230 of the Tax Code; 11. Well-settled is the rule that claim for refund is construed strictly against claimant since it partakes of the nature of an exemption from taxation ( Resins , Inc . vs . Auditor General , 255 SCRA 754 )." The issues that are to be considered in this case are: 1. Whether or not services performed by petitioner are subject to zero-rate VAT; and 2. Whether or not petitioner is entitled to a refund of its VAT input taxes paid on its domestic purchases of goods and services from March 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993 as they are alleged to be directly attributable to its zero-rated revenues. As regards the first issue, there is no doubt, that the services performed by petitioner are subject to zero-rate VAT. This has been confirmed by no less than the Deputy Commissioner of respondent, Eufracio D. Santos, when he issued to petitioner VAT Ruling No. 080-89 dated April 3, 1989 (Exh. "B", Pet.; p. 60, CTA rec.), pertinent portion of which states: ". . . In reply, please be informed that, as a VAT registered entity whose service is paid for in acceptable foreign currency which is remitted inwardly to the Philippines and accounted for in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Central Bank of the Philippines, your service income is automatically zero-rated effective January 1, 1988 [Section 102(a)(2) of the Tax Code as amended]. For this, there is no need to file an application for zero-rate." When a certified true copy of the above-quoted ruling was formally offered as Exhibit "B" for petitioner, respondent in her Comment (p. 108, CTA rec.) offered no objection as to its existence but objected as to the veracity of its contents. The Court cannot understand the logic behind the sweeping objection of respondent's counsel as to the veracity of the contents of the ruling of Mr. Eufracio D. Santos, Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. At the time of the issuance of the ruling on April 3, 1989, Mr. Santos was no ordinary employee in respondent's office. He was then one of the ranking officials of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and as far as this Court is concerned, whatever ruling he issues in his official capacity should be considered credible or in conformity with the truth and should be accorded respect and due consideration not only by the taxpayers, but first and foremost by its own employees and that includes respondent's counsel in this case. Well-settled is the rule that findings and conclusions of government officials warrant the presumption of regularity and correctness in the absence of proof to the contrary ( La Campana Food Products , Inc . vs . The Court of Appeals , 221 SCRA 770). The objection of respondent's counsel relative to the veracity of the contents of the ruling (Exhibit "B" of petitioner) was not supported by any proof showing its incorrectness or untruthfulness. The Court, therefore, brushes aside said objection. With regard to the second issue, the Court, after ascertaining that petitioner's claim for refund was seasonably filed within the reglementary period of two years pursuant to Section 106(b) of the Tax Code and that the services performed by it was paid for in acceptable foreign currency which was inwardly remitted to the Philippines in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, grants only the sum of P1,738,436.84 representing input taxes for the period March 1 to December 31, 1993, computed as follows: Amount Per Less Amount Period Covered CPA Cert.

WHEREFORE, finding the instant petition partly meritorious, the Court grants only the amount of P1,738,436.84 and hereby ORDERS respondent to REFUND the same amount in favor of petitioner as input taxes for the period March 1 to December 31, 1993.
