It should be directed towards, or contributory to, the attainment of the BIR's Major Final Outputs, as defined by the appropriate Inter-Agency Task Force Memorandum Circular issued in line with Executive Order No. 80 . 3. Its formulation and/or implementation must cut across two (2) or more functional groups. 4. It must be intended for nationwide application. 5. It must be institutionalized on or before the end of the second year from the date that the program was approved by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The aforesaid criteria shall be applied to any programs submitted for consideration as an agency priority program beginning CY 2013. The RATE and Oplan Kandado Programs, however, shall continue to be considered as annual priority programs of the Bureau. SacTCA (SGD.) KIM S. JACINTO-HENARES Commissioner of Internal Revenue
