This refers to your request for confirmation and/or issuance of guidelines for
the automatic offsetting of claims for VAT input tax by mining companies against
their excise tax liabilities.

I reply, I regret to inform you that the same cannot be granted for lack of legal
basis. Any claim for tax credit or refund of alleged excess input tax by a VAT
registered taxpayer pursuant to Sections 104 and 106 both of the Tax Code, as
amended by E.O. 273, shall be subject to verification by this Office pursuant to
existing rules and regulations. Accordingly, until after the amount claimed as input
taxes attributable to goods exported, or on sales which are zero-rated or effectively
zero-rated or input tax paid on capital goods imported or locally purchased, to the
extent that such input taxes have not been applied against output taxes, have been
finally determined to be legally due to the taxpayer, and a tax credit certificate issued
therefor, no automatic offsetting of the amount claimed as input tax against the tax
liability of the taxpayer can be allowed.
However, a Tax Credit Certificate duly issued by this Office shall, upon proper
application, be allowed to be used in payment of excise and other tax liabilities of
taxpayers, like the mining companies.
