SC stops BIR drive vs doctors, lawyers

Published by rudy Date posted on April 23, 2014

The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday stopped the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) from implementing its new regulation imposing additional requirements for registration of self-employed professionals, including doctors and lawyers.

In summer session in Baguio City, the justices decided to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the BIR from implementing its Regulation No. 4-2014, which requires self-employed professionals to submit affidavits indicating their rates and register their official appointment books.

The order is effective immediately and until further orders from the court.

The SC granted the immediate relief sought in the petition filed by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) earlier this month.

Since only the IBP filed the petition, the SC clarified that the TRO applies to the application of the assailed BIR “only as against lawyers.” –The Philippine Star
