[C.T.A. CASE NO. 5700. September 22, 2000.] TAGANITO MINING CORPORATION , petitioner , vs . COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE , respondent . D E C I S I O N This is a judicial claim for refund of the amount of P11,857,864.95 filed on December 29, 1998, representing alleged unutilized input value-added tax paid by the Petitioner on its domestic purchases of taxable goods and services and on importation of capital goods. The facts of the case are as follows: Petitioner is a domestic corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the Philippines. It is primarily engaged in the business of exploring, producing and exporting beneficiated nickel silicate ores and chromite ores. It is allegedly a VAT registered entity and was allegedly granted by Respondent, Certificate of Registration No. 94-470-000373. Records show that Petitioner filed its quarterly VAT returns for the four calendar quarters of 1997 on various dates from April 16, 1997 to January 16, 1998, declaring zero-rated export sales and input VAT payments on domestic purchases of goods and services in the aggregate sum of P217,592,976.04 and P3,941,904.06, respectively, broken down as follows: INPUT VAT This quarter Carried over Domestic Carried over Date filed Zero-rated from previous Purchases of Importation to subsequent Exh w/ the BIR 1997 Sales quarter Goods/Serv. of Goods quarter I 16-Apr-97 1st qtr.

No. 7716, now Sec. 106 (A)(2)(a)(1) of the Tax Code, as amended by R.A. No. 8424. Believing that it is entitled to a refund of P11,857,864.95 allegedly representing the sum of the input VAT of P4,035,548.65 and P7,822,316.36, paid on its domestic purchases of taxable goods/services and on its importation of capital goods, respectively, which are allegedly attributable to its zero-rated sales for the period January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, Petitioner filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue an administrative claim for refund on December 28, 1998 (Exhibit "VV"). Petitioner filed the instant Petition for Review with this Court on December 29, 1998. In his Answer filed on February 16, 1999, Respondent prayed for the dismissal of the instant petition and advanced the following Special and Affirmative Defenses, to wit: "5. Petitioner failed to show compliance with the substantiation requirements under the provision of Section 16(c)(3) of Revenue Regulations No. 5-87, as amended by Revenue Regulations No. 3-88; 6. Petitioner has not shown proof that the alleged VAT input taxes attributable to its export sales have not yet been applied to the output tax for the period covered in its claim or any succeeding period and that the alleged total foreign exchange proceeds have accounted (sic) for by the Central Bank; 7. The petition states no cause of action as it does not allege the date/s when the tax/es sought to be refunded was/were actually paid; 8. In an action for tax refund/credit, the burden of proof is on the taxpayer to establish its right to the refund and failure to sustain the burden is fatal to the action for tax refund. 9. Taxes paid and collected are presumed to have been made in accordance with law and regulations, hence, not refundable; 10. Well-settled is the rule that claims for refund are construed against the claimants since it partakes of the nature of an exemption from taxation." On July 31, 2000, this case was considered submitted for decision sans the memorandum of the Respondent. The issues in this case are two-fold; first, whether or not Petitioner's export sales qualify as zero-rated activity/revenue; and whether or not Petitioner is entitled to a refund of VAT input taxes paid from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997 amounting to P11,857,864.95. EcHIDT After a careful review of pertinent laws and documentary exhibits in this case, We find and so hold that Petitioner is entitled to the refund sought for. Anent the first issue, Petitioner complied with all the requirements for the zero-rating of its sales as set forth under Section 100(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Tax Code, as amended by R.A. No. 7716 (now Section 106(A)(2)(a)(1) of the Tax Code, as amended by R.A. No. 8424), thus: Section 100(a) "(2) The following sales by VAT-registered persons shall be subject to zero percent (0%) rate: "(A) Export Sales . The term 'export sales' means: "(i) The sale and actual shipment of goods from the Philippines to a foreign country, irrespective of any shipping arrangement that may be agreed upon which may influence or determine the transfer of ownership of the goods so exported and paid for in acceptable foreign currency or its equivalent in goods or services, and accounted for in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP);" In the course of the proceeding, Petitioner was able to prove that it is a VAT registered entity when it presented in evidence its Certificate of Registration (Exh. F to F-3 inclusive). Petitioner likewise convinced this Court that it actively made direct export sales which garnered the amount of US $7,254,906.29 with peso equivalent of P217,594,976.04 for the period January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999, as shown by its Summary List of Export Sales (Exhs. A-7 to A-10, inclusive), provisional and final export invoices (Exhs. D, D-1, D-9, D-10, D-15, to D-18, D-23, D-24, D-29, D-30, D-36, D-37, D-42 to D-45, inclusive), export declarations/permits (Exhs. D-3, D-13, D-21, D-27, D-34, D-40 and D-49) and bills of lading (Exhs. D-4, D-14, D-22, D-28, D-35, D-41 and D-50) for the same period. More importantly, Petitioner, through presentation of bank credit/debit devices, was able to prove that its export sales were paid for in acceptable foreign currency inwardly remitted and accounted for in accordance with BSP regulations (Exhs. D-2, D-5 to D-8, D-11, D-12, D-19, D-20, d-25, D-26, D-31 to D-33, D-38, D-39, D-46 to D-48, inclusive). Furthermore, Petitioner's export sales amounting to P217,594,976.04 were properly reported in its amended quarterly VAT returns and were properly recorded in its books of accounts as certified by Punongbayan and Araullo in its report. (Exh. A). Since Petitioner's sales qualify as zero-rated under Section 100 (a)(2)(A)(i) of the Tax Code, consequently it is not liable to pay output tax thereon and can claim tax credit or refund of input Value-Added Tax paid on its purchases of goods, properties or services related to such zero-rated sales as provided under Section 4.102-2 of Revenue Regulations No. 7-95 and Section 106(a) of the Tax Code, as amended by R.A. 7716 which provides. thus: SEC. 4.102-2. Zero-Rating . (a) In general. A zero-rated sale by a VAT registered person, which is a taxable transaction for VAT purposes, shall not result in any output tax. However, the input tax on his purchases of goods, properties or services related to such zero-rated sale shall be available as tax credit or refund in accordance with these regulations. Coming now to its refund of unutilized input VAT payments on domestic purchase of taxable goods and services and on importation of goods, it is incumbent upon the Petitioner to prove the following: 1.) the claimed input taxes are duly supported by Petitioner's suppliers invoices and/or official receipts (with respect to its domestic purchases of taxable goods and services) and Bureau of Customs official receipts/import entry declarations (regarding its importation of capital goods) as provided under Section 4.104-5 of Revenue Regulations No. 7-95 in relation with Sections 108 and 238 of the Tax Code; 2.) the claimed input taxes on domestic purchase of taxable goods and services are directly attributable to its zero-rated sales; 3.) it did not offset or apply the claimed input taxes against any output tax; and it did not carry-over to the succeeding months/quarters the claimed input taxes As we can recall, the commissioned Certified Public Accountant, Punongbayan and Araullo, recommended that the amount of P11,785,865.10, as indicated in Petitioner's Summary of Monthly Purchases and input VAT paid for the period January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997, represents Petitioner's valid claim for refund of input taxes paid on domestic purchases of taxable goods and services and on importation of capital goods for the period subject of the claim except for the amount of P401,166.20. However, upon a thorough examination of Petitioner's documentary exhibits, more particularly its suppliers invoices and official receipts (Exh. B to B-848, C to C-1470), Bureau of Customs official receipts, import entry and revenue declarations (Exh. B-849 to 858, inclusive), this Court found out that, aside from the amount of P401,166.20 initially recommended by the independent Certified Public Accountant for disallowance, an additional P614,016.54 detailed in Annex A, shall likewise be disallowed for failure to comply with the substantiation requirements provided under Section 4.104-5 of Revenue Regulations No. 7-95 in relation to Sections 108 and 238 of the Tax Code and Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 63-91 which provides, thus: SEC. 4.104-5. Substantiation of claims for input tax credit . (a) Input taxes shall be allowed only if the domestic purchase of goods, properties or services is made in the course of trade or business. The input tax should be supported by an invoice or receipt showing the information as required under Section 108(a) and 238 of the Code. Input tax on purchases of real property should be supported by a copy of the public instrument i.e. deed of absolute sale, deed of conditional sale, contract/agreement to sell, etc., together with the VAT receipt issued by the seller. A cash-register machine tape issued to a VAT registered buyer by a VAT-registered seller from a machine duly registered with the BIR in lieu of the regular sales invoice, shall constitute valid proof of substantiation of tax credit only if the name and TIN of the purchaser is indicated in the receipt and authenticated by a duly authorized representative of the seller. (b) Input tax on importation shall be supported with the import entry or other equivalent document showing actual payment of VAT on the imported goods. (c) Presumptive input tax shall be supported by an inventory of goods as shown in a detailed list to be submitted to the BIR. (d) Input tax on "deemed sale" transactions shall be substantiated with the required invoices. (e) Input tax from payments made to non-residents shall be supported by a copy of the VAT declaration/return filed by the resident licensee/lessee in behalf of the non-resident licensor/lessor evidencing remittance of the VAT due. Other than this noted failure of the Petitioner to substantiate, thus causing disallowances on its claimed input VAT, this Court is nonetheless, convinced that Petitioner's claimed input taxes on domestic purchases of taxable goods and services were all directly attributable to its zero-rated sales and that these purchases were used directly in its business of exploring, producing and exporting beneficiated nickel silicate ores and chromite ores. Likewise, we found that the claimed input taxes of P11,857,864.95 were never applied by the Petitioner against any of its liabilities as shown in its amended 1997 quarterly VAT returns (Exhs. U. X, AA and DD) nor was it carried over to the succeeding quarters of 1998 as evidenced by Petitioner's 1998 monthly/quarterly returns (Exh. EE to PP, inclusive). aHIEcS After taking into consideration the above circumstances, this Court finds it ineluctable to grant the claim for refund but in a reduced amount computed as follows: Amount of Claim P11,857,864.95 Less: Disallowances Per Punongbayan & Araullo's Report (Exh. A-6) P401,166.20 Per this Court's Further Verification (Annex A) 614,016.54 1,015,182.74 Amount Refundable P10,842,682.21 ============ WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing, Respondent is hereby ORDERED to REFUND the amount of TEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO AND 21/100 PESOS (P10,842,682.21), in favor of the Petitioner representing its unutilized input VAT payments on its domestic purchase of taxable goods and services and on importation of goods for the period January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997.
