ANNOTATION
DOUBLE TAXATION
I. Nature
Double taxation has been otherwise described as "direct
duplicate taxation". It exists when the same property is
taxed twice, when it should be taxed but once (Victorias
Milling Co., Inc. v. Mun. of Victorias, Negros Occidental, L
21183 Sept. 27, 1968. 25 SCRA 192, 209, citing Cooley on
Taxation, 4th ed., Vol. I, p. 475 and Attorney General v.
Supervisors of Sanilac County, 71 Mich. 16, 38 N.E. 639).
It has also been defined as "taxing the same person
twice by the same jurisdiction for the same thing".

supra, citing Cooley, supra, and Harvey Coal & Coke Co. v.
Dillon, 59 W.Va. 605, 53 S.E. 928.) As stated in Spanish,
there is double taxation "cuando la misma propriedad se
sujeta a dos impuestos por la misma entidad e Gobierno,
para el mismo fin y durante el mismo periodo de tiempo"
