In case a taxpayer violates RR 1-14, Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. Five-14 clarified that the taxpayer is at risk of criminal penalty of a excellent not much less than P10,000 and imprisonment of not much less than one year but now not greater than 10 years, or in lieu thereof, the taxpayer will ought to pay the compromise penalty in the quantity that corresponds to the taxpayer’s gross annual sales, earnings or receipts, beneath the up to date Schedule of Compromise Penalties. Moreover, remember that profits payments, which are otherwise deductible under the Tax Code, will be allowed as a deduction from the gross earnings most effective if the earnings tax required to be withheld has been paid to the BIR in accordance with the Tax Code.
