d. Is she liable for business tax, in addition to income tax?
e. Suppose she signifies in her 1 st quarter income tax return her intention to be taxed at 8%
optional tax rate, how much is her income tax liability?
Answers:
a. Gross sales – restaurant P1,600,000
Gross sales – catering 600,000
Total P2,200,000
Less: OSD (2,200,000 x 40%) ( 880,000)
Net taxable income P1,320,000
The taxpayer initially elected OSD in the computation of her taxable income, thus the graduated
income tax rate shall be applied. The election of OSD is irrevocable for the taxable year for
which the return is made.
c. No, for individuals who opted to use the 8% flat income tax rate or the graduated income tax
rates with OSD as the mode of deduction. (RMC 17-2019)

Problem 6 (10 pts)
Mr. X, inherited from his father, who died on July 11, 2012, several pieces of real property in Davao City.
The estate tax return was filed and the estate tax due in the amount of P300,000 was paid on December
13, 2012. The Tax Fraud Division of the BIR investigated the case on the basis of confidential information
given by Mr. Y on January 4, 2016 that the return filed by Mr. X was fraudulent and that he failed to
declare all properties left by his father with the intent to evade payment of the correct tax. As a result, a
deficiency estate tax assessment for P1,400,000, inclusive of 50% surcharge for fraud, interest and
penalty, was issued against him on January 5, 2019. Mr. X protested the assessment on the ground of
prescription.
a. What is the prescriptive period for a fraud case.
b. Decide on the protest of Mr. X.
Answers:
a. 10 years
b. Denied. The return was filed on December 13, 2012 which was false and fraudulent. Since the
fraud was discovered only on January 4, 2016, the BIR has a period of 10 years from said
discovery until January 7, 2026 within which to assess. Thus, the assessment notice that was
issued on January 5, 2019 was issued with prescriptive period.
