ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT OF A LETTER OF CONFIRMATION AND TAX CLEARANCE FOR PARTICIPATING IN PUBLIC BIDDING AND OTHER PURPOSES, BY REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 66
WHEREAS, our people has developed a high sense of civic responsibility as shown by the improved level of compliance and increasing amount of taxes paid over the years;
WHEREAS, some administrative requirements became archaic, and onerous that their continued enforcement unduly burdens the public;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby repeal Administrative Order No. 66 requiring the presentation of a Letter of Confirmation (BIR Form No. 19.65-A-1) and BIR Tax Clearance (BIR Form No. 17.61) as prerequisites to participate in any public bidding with the government or any of its agencies including government-owned and controlled corporations and for other similar purposes.
DONE in the City of Manila, this 16th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-One.
