Updated Guidelines and Procedures on the Disposal of Unserviceable Properties

August 7, 2017

REVENUE MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 019-17

 

A. OBJECTIVES

1. To prescribe uniform procedures on disposal of unserviceable properties and provide in one revenue issuance pertinent policies, principles, rules and regulations governing disposal of BIR properties, including those promulgated by fiscal authorities like the Commission on Audit (COA) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

2. To ensure systematic and timely disposal of property to avoid further deterioration of its value.

3. To generate greater benefits to the government in terms of higher appraisal value for the property, lesser storage cost and better management of limited office space.

B. DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Unserviceable property — refers to government property that is no longer needed or has become useless for any cause, such as, it can no longer be repaired or reconditioned; maintenance cost/cost of repair is more than or outweighs the benefits and services that will be derived from its continued use; obsolete or outmoded because of change of technology or unnecessary due to change in the agency's function or mandate.

2. Beyond Economic Repair — when the cost of repair and maintenance becomes prohibitive and disadvantageous to the government considering such factors as:

2.1 Maintenance Expenses

2.2 Downtime

2.3 Replacement cost of spare parts

2.4 Frequency of breakdown

2.5 Alternative modes such as rental of equipment or outright replacement

3. Economically Repairable — that which can be rehabilitated and maintained at a cost economical to the BIR, considering the five (5) factors mentioned in item 2.0 above.

4. Equipment — any property, other than land, structures and fixed facilities, having useful life greater than a year, the cost of which amounts to P15,000.00 or more and which when used does not suffer any material or substantial change or alteration in size or form.

5. Expendable property — that which can be consumed, spent, or used-up, such as supplies.

6. Materials — are expendable commodities used in the process of manufacture or construction including parts or remnants from destroyed or damaged fixed assets.

7. Non-expendable property — that which cannot be consumed, spent, or used-up, such as equipment.

8. Obsolete property — that which has lost its efficiency either due to technological advancement, change of procedures, reorganization of office or completion of project.

9. Scrap/junk — fragments of discarded materials that have no value except for its basic material contents and which cannot be reprocessed and reused on the operations of other government agencies.

10. Supplies — are expendable commodities which are normally consumed within a year in connection with government operations.

b.) DepEd;

c.) DSWD;

d.) DND; and

e.) Other Government Agencies.

3.6.2.2  Priority shall be given to requests for particular property/asset by government agencies which has never been previously provided by BIR with the same disposable/surplus property/asset; and

7. The Disposal Committee shall compute for the appraised value of the property for the purpose of setting the minimum selling price so that the government will receive fair compensation for the items sold.

The committee shall be guided in the appraisal of unserviceable property, by pertinent rules promulgated by fiscal authorities (Appendix A).

8. The Disposal Committee concerned shall recommend to the ACIR-AS/Regional Director the proper mode of disposal.

9. Property may be disposed in any of the following modes, as appropriate and deemed most advantageous to the government:

9.1 Public Bidding — As a general rule, sale or disposal of government property shall be through public bidding. Public bidding may be done through sealed public bidding or when circumstances warrant, by viva voce.

9.1.1 Sealed public bidding is characterized by the submission of sealed bids by prospective buyers, whereby the time, date and place of opening of bids is indicated in the Invitation to Bid, the evaluation of bid tenders by the Disposal Committee, and the awarding to the highest complying bidder.

9.1.2 Viva Voce (Living Voice)

Disposable property of insignificant value or such nature that requires immediate disposal shall be sold through public auction by viva voce whereby, bids are orally offered during the public auction. Other situations for viva voce are those involving the disposal of waste materials and/or spare parts of insignificant value.

9.2 Sale thru negotiation

Negotiated sale is resorted to as a consequence of failure of public bidding for two (2) consecutive times. There is failure of public auction in any of the following instances:

• If there is only one offeror. In this case, the bid, if sealed shall not be opened.

• If all the tenders are non-complying or unacceptable. A tender is non-complying or unacceptable when it does not comply with the legal, technical or financial requirements for pre-qualification.

9.3 Transfer to other government agencies

Where the property or assets involved are no longer serviceable or needed by the Bureau, they may be transferred to other government entities/agencies without cost or at an appraised value upon authority of the ACIR-AS/Regional Director and the head of the receiving agency, and upon due accomplishment of a Property Transfer Report (PTR).

9.4 Condemnation or Destruction

This mode shall be resorted to only when the unserviceable property has no commercial value, is beyond economic repair; there is no willing receiver; and/or the appraised value is less than the administrative cost of sale. Valueless, unsalable or hazardous property can be condemned or destroyed by burning, pounding, breaking, shredding, throwing or any other method by which the property is disposed beyond economic recovery.

9.5 Barter

This is a modified form of transfer of property wherein an agency transfers property to another government agency in exchange for another piece of property. The value of the property being transferred may or may not be equivalent to that being received.

In effecting barter of property, the PTR shall be prepared by each party and transmitted together with the property to the other party.

9.6 Donation of property

Property recommended for disposal may be donated to charitable, scientific, educational or cultural associations on exceptional and meritorious cases with the approval of the COA and the DBM.

10. The auditor concerned or his representative shall be invited at all times to witness the proceedings of the opening of the bids and actual disposal of the property.

(SGD.) CAESAR R. DULAYCommissioner of Internal Revenue

APPENDIX A

Guidelines for Appraisal of Unserviceable Property

A. GENERAL PROCEDURES

In general, the appraisal process consists of the following:

1. Conducting an ocular inspection of the property to be appraised to assess its physical condition;

2. Seeking reference price information such as acquisition cost, or current market price of similar property, or replacement cost for a similar new property; and

3. Computing the appraised value following the same generally accepted formula which will take into account the property's actual physical condition, the relevant reference price information, and the changes in the value of the property caused by changes in the value of the exchange currency, the peso.

B. INSPECTION OF PROPERTY TO BE APPRAISED

1. Preliminary Documentation

Check whether the corresponding form for disposal has been properly accomplished.

The forms used for disposal are:

a. Inventory and Inspection Report of Unserviceable Property (IIRUP), Appendix 74 under GAM, Vol. II

b. Waste Materials Report (WMR), Appendix 65 under GAM, Vol. II

2. The appraiser shall perform the following, where applicable:

A. Check the condition of the property; determine whether operational, under repair, or beyond economic repair.

B. Verify stated ratings, capacity, model, year of manufacture, serial number, chasis number, motor number and other technical specifications, fuel and lubricant, and accessories, if any.

C. Determine quality or degree of maintenance and repair, check logbook, if available.

D. Determine the extent of use, mileage, rate of depreciation, any excessive wear and tear. TCAScE

E. Determine availability of spare parts.

C. REFERENCE PRICE INFORMATION

The appraiser shall gather the following reference price information to aid him in his appraisal computations:

1. Current Market Value (CMV) — or the prevailing market/advertised prices of used equipment/cars of the same make and model or similar models.

2. Prices from second hand rebuilders and reconditioners of machinery, cars or equipment.

3. Acquisition Cost (AC) — or the price of the property when it was new, at the year of manufacture.

4. Replacement Cost New (RCN) — price of the new property for current year.

5. Currency exchange rates for acquisition year and current year.

D. COMPUTATION OF THE APPRAISED VALUE

1. Guidelines and Principles:

a. Unserviceable property which can no longer be repaired or reconditioned shall be appraised at scrap or junk value.

b. Unserviceable property which can still be repaired or reconditioned, and property no longer needed which are still functional shall be appraised, at current market value, if such is available otherwise the property shall be appraised at sound value.

c. Antique property, works of art, and real estate are not covered under these guidelines. Antique property and works of art shall be appraised by the National Museum, and real estate shall be appraised under a separate set of guidelines.

d. Current Market Value (CMV), is the price estimated which a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a reasonable time to find a buyer who buys with knowledge of the actual condition and utility of the property. The CMV may be taken from advertised prices of used equipment/vehicles of the same make and model or similar models, adjusted for the actual condition of the property being appraised relative to the condition of the advertised model.

e. Sound Value (SV), a measure of value widely used by valuers and appraisers, is derived from Replacement Cost-New (RCN), minus observed depreciation tempered by consideration given to the actual condition and utility of the property.

f. The graphic presentation of the Decline in the value of property is presented as follows:

 

 

 

g. Depreciation Factor is the adjustment factor used to account for the depreciation or deterioration of the property assuming normal usage and reasonable maintenance of the property. Using straight line depreciation:

 

Depreciation Factor

=

Remaining Economic Life

 

Where:

Estimated Economic Life — is the number of years indicated in the attached Table of Estimated Economic Lives corresponding to the property type involved as its years of useful or economic life.

Remaining Economic Life — is the difference between the:

a. Estimated Economic Life, and

b. The actual age or the number of years the property has been in use or operation.

h. Condition Factor is the adjustment factor used to consider the actual condition of the property thru an evaluation of the condition of the major components of the property relative to an ideally functioning model. With respect to vehicles, the condition factor may be estimated as follows:

COMPONENT CONDITION RATING TABLE

 

Component: % Weight Condition	Engine 23%	Transmission 7%	Differential 5%	Body Chasis 35%	Others 30%
Good	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0	1.0
Fair	0.8	0.8	0.8	0.8	0.8
Poor	0.6	0.6	0.6	0.6	0.6
Very Poor	0.4	0.4	0.4	0.4	0.4
Missing	0	0	0	0	0

 

Condition Factor:

Sum of [condition rating x % weight] for all components

With respect to furniture and non-mechanized implements, the condition factor may be assigned as follows:

CONDITION FACTORS FOR FURNITURE/

 

Condition	Condition Factor
Good	1.0
Fair	0.8
Poor	0.6

 

In the case of property no longer available for inspection, as in the case of lost or burned equipment for which accountability is being assessed, the condition factor shall be assumed to be 1.0.

i. Currency Fluctuation Factor is the adjustment factor used to take into account the devaluation of the peso from the year of acquisition to the year of appraisal.

 

CURRENCY FLUCTUATION FACTOR

=

P/dollar exchange rate on year of appraisal

 

2. Specific Guidelines and Formula for Furniture and Non-Mechanized Implements:

a. When property is still functional or can still be repaired: Case A

 

 

b. When property is unusable and can no longer be repaired: Case B

Appraised Value = Junk Value

Where Junk Value is based on prevailing price of scrap metal or lumber, whichever is appropriate.

3. Specific Guidelines and Formulae for Vehicles and Mechanized Equipment:

a. When property is still operational or can still be reconditioned: Case Aa

1. When current market value is available:

Appraised Value - Current Market Value

Where:

Current Market Value = Advertised/Market Price x Condition Factor

2. When replacement cost-new is available:

• When age of property is less than estimated economic life (per attached table): Case Aa

 

 

• When age of property is more than estimated economic life: Case Ab

 

Appraised Value:
Replacement Cost-New	X	[0.50 x Condition Factor]

 

3. When original acquisition cost, AC, is available:

• When age of property is less than estimated economic life: Case Ab

 

 

• When age of property is more than estimated economic life: Case Ab

 

Appraised Value:
AC	X	Currency Fluctuation Factor	X	[0.50 x Condition Factor]

 

b. When property can no longer be repaired/reconditioned: Case B

Appraised Value = Scrap/Junk Value per Table of Junk Values:

1987 TABLE OF JUNK VALUES

 

Junk type	Value
1. Steel
a. Heavy	P750/ton
b. Light	P700/ton
2. Cast Iron Engine Blocks	P1,000/ton
3. Metal
a. Body Parts/Chasis	P675/ton
b. Tin Cans	P500/ton
c. Scrap	P600/ton

 

E. ADJUSTMENT OF APPRAISED VALUE WHEN AUCTION BIDS ARE LOW

When the Highest Bid is lower than the Government Floor Price.

If after exposure of the property to public auction, as required under Sec. 79 of P.D. 1445, the highest bid falls below the government floor price or the Auditor's reference value, whichever is lower, then the Appraiser shall:

1. Determine whether the difference is excessive.

The amount of deviation of the highest bid from the floor/reference value is considered excessive when it is greater than 10% of the floor/reference value plus the cost of calling another public auction.

2. If the difference is found not excessive, the sale may be allowed in audit. If the difference was found to be excessive, the auditor shall recommend the calling of another public auction with the floor/reference value reduced by 10%.

3. If the second auction still fails, i.e., the highest bid is still excessively lower than the reduced floor/reference value, then the sale may be negotiated with the highest offeror at a price to be approved by the Commission on Audit.
