Certificate of Utilization of TCCs for Purposes of TCC Transfer and Utilization

April 12, 2004 REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 51-04 SUBJECT : Certificate of Utilization of Tax Credit Certificates (TCCs) for Purposes of TCC Transfer and Utilization TO : All Internal Revenue Officers, Employees and Others Concerned It has come to the attention of Top Management, through the reports and/or admission of the taxpayers and from the postings on the dorsal portion of the TCCs, that there are Revenue District Officers (RDOs) who are allowing the use of TCC's in payment of internal revenue taxes without the corresponding Tax Debit Memos (TDMs) issued by the authorized BIR Offices. In this connection, please be informed that only the following BIR Offices are authorized to issue Tax Debit Memo (TM): The RDOs of RR No. 08 Makati for their respective taxpayers; The LTDOs of Makati and Cebu for their respective taxpayers; The LTCED for LTAAIDI and LTAAIDII; and The Collection Programs Division (CPD) for all other RDOs and Regional Offices outside of those mentioned above. Thus, all other RDOs are instructed to refrain from issuing TDMs . To facilitate the processing of application for transfer and utilization of TCCs at the Collection Service, there shall be no need to secure the certificate of utilization from the RDO where the taxpayer is registered since it is presumed that these offices are no longer issuing TDMs. RDOs who violate the prohibition in the issuance of TDMs, shall be dealt with accordingly. All revenue officials and employees are enjoined to give this Circular as wide publicity as possible. DIETcH (SGD.) GUILLERMO L. PARAYNO, JR. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
