Substituted Filing
Substituted Filing is when the employers annual return (BIR Form 1604CF) may be
considered as the substitute Income Tax Return (ITR) of employee inasmuch as the
information provided in his income tax return (BIR Form 1700) would exactly be the
same information contained in the employers annual return (BIR Form No. 1604-CF).

Issuance of Injunction
GR: No court can issue an injunction, as provided under Section 218, NIRC.
E: Section 11, RA 9282 provides that an injunction may be issued by the CTA to restrain
the collection of taxes when in the opinion of the Court the collection may jeopardize
the interest of the Government and/or the taxpayer, the Court at any stage of the
proceeding may suspend the said collection and require the taxpayer either to deposit the
amount claimed or to file a surety bond for not more than double the amount with the
Court.
Note:
* TROs and injunctions issued by courts other than the CTA against the BIR should be
annulled and canceled for lack of jurisdiction.
* The prohibition on the issuance of a writ of injunction to enjoin the collection of taxes
is applied only to NIR taxes, not to local taxes. However, the SC noted that such
injunctions enjoining the collection of local taxes are frowned upon.

provides that the provision of Section 17 of R.A. 7906 shall continue to be in force and
effect only until December 31, 1999. Effective January 1, 2000, all thrift banks, whether
in operation as of that date or thereafter, shall no longer enjoy tax exemption as provided
under Section 17 of R.A. 7906, thereby subjecting all thrift banks to taxes, fees and
charges in the same manner and at the same rate as banks and other financial
intermediaries. Centennial Bank is, therefore, subject to the gross receipts tax imposed

IMMEDIACY TEST
To determine the "reasonable needs" of the business in order to justify an accumulation of
earnings, the Courts of the United States have invented the so-called "Immediacy Test"
which construed the words "reasonable needs of the business" to mean the immediate
needs of the business, and it was generally held that if the corporation did not prove an
immediate need for the accumulation of the earnings and profits, the accumulation
was not for the reasonable needs of the business, and the penalty tax would apply.
