In the Municipality of Dalaguete, the Municipal Treasurer issues a local business tax assessment of PHP 420,000 against OmegaTech Industries. OmegaTech pays the amount under protest and files in the Court of Appeals for a declaration that the tax assessment is void and for an injunction to stop collection. The Court of Appeals dismisses for lack of jurisdiction. What is the correct remedy under the Local Government Code, and what is the likely outcome if the taxpayer subsequently files a petition for certiorari, prohibition, and/or mandamus with the Supreme Court?

Choose the Best Answer

File an ordinary civil action for refund in the Regional Trial Court after proper protest; this is the standard remedy for challenged local taxes under the Local Government Code. File a petition for certiorari, prohibition, and/or mandamus with the Supreme Court under the Local Government Code's Taxpayers' Remedies; the Court will review the Court of Appeals' handling and, if grave abuse or lack of jurisdiction is shown, may issue the writ to stop collection and declare the assessment void. File a petition for certiorari, prohibition, and/or mandamus with the Court of Appeals to review the Court of Appeals' dismissal; the Court of Appeals has exclusive jurisdiction to entertain such petitions in tax matters. Seek declaratory relief to declare the assessment void in the Regional Trial Court; declaratory judgments are the proper remedy for tax challenges.
