Failure to submit on time incurs a penalty of Php 1,000 per year.
Payment of penalty without submitting the ITR results in non-confirmation of units for registration purposes until compliance.

Beginning April 1, 2005, submission of ITR is mandatory during hearings for all applications or petitions.
Failure to submit ITR is a ground for dismissal of applications or petitions.
Submission of Tax Identification Number (TIN) became mandatory for unit confirmation as of January 1, 2005.

This Circular modifies or supersedes inconsistent issuances or parts thereof.
The Circular took effect fifteen (15) days after filing three copies with the UP Law Center pursuant to Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 (October 9, 1992).

Penalties and Enforcement

Php 1,000 penalty imposed annually for late ITR submission.
Non-submission impedes registration and application processing.

Key Legal Concepts

Filing compliance is tied to both tax administration and regulatory approvals.
Cooperation between LTFRB and BIR underscores interagency collaboration for tax and regulatory governance.
Use of TIN as an identifier for confirmation and registration processes underscores taxpayer accountability and record matching.
