Question
Aurora Realty Corp., a VAT-registered taxpayer, receives an NIRC assessment dated March 12, 2025, for deficiency in output VAT for February 2025 in the amount of PHP 9,000,000, with payment due April 6, 2025. It does not pay by the due date. On May 1, 2025, the BIR issues a separate delinquency notice for failure to pay on time for the period February 1–February 28. On June 24, 2025, Aurora pays PHP 3,500,000. On July 31, 2025, Aurora pays the remaining PHP 5,500,000 plus applicable interest and surcharges. (a) Distinguish whether the PHP 9,000,000 is tax deficiency or tax delinquency, and explain why. (b) Did delinquency attach in Aurora’s case, and does the payment on June 24 cure the delinquency or merely extinguish the deficiency? (c) What remedies or recourses does Aurora have to challenge the deficiency or the delinquency and to protect its interests going forward?
