Sections 153 and 156 of the 1977 NIRC mandated the increased rates of specific taxes on manufactured oils, other fuels and diesel oils
Philex paid the taxes based on these increased rates
HOWEVER, the latter law did not provide for a refund based on the increased rates, but the old rates
THE GRANT OF REFUND PRIVILEGES MUST BE STRICTLY CONSTRUED
AGAINST THE TAXPAYER
- Therefore, the basis for the refund remains to be the amounts deemed paid under Sections 1 and 2 of 1435 (lower rates).
- PETITION DENIED.
