Amends RA 2338 on informer rewards

Presidential Decree No. 707 amends Section 1 of R.A. 2338.
The amendment operates to the contrary notwithstanding, meaning the revised reward limitation controls over inconsistent parts of R.A. 2338.
The decree’s coverage is limited to the rule on informer rewards in R.A. 2338, Section 1.

Section 1 limits the reward authorized to be paid to qualified informers.
The limited reward equals the sum equivalent to five (5%).
The 5% is computed based on realized revenues collected and accounted for as a result of the information furnished.
The computation also includes surcharges collected and accounted for as a result of the information furnished.
The computation also includes compromises collected and accounted for as a result of the information furnished.
The computation also includes penalties established by law collected and accounted for as a result of the information furnished.
The limitation applies “to the contrary notwithstanding,” overriding inconsistent reward provisions in R.A. 2338.

Section 2 provides that all laws, acts, decrees, orders, and regulations inconsistent with Presidential Decree No. 707 are considered repealed and/or modified accordingly.
