Published by Department of Justice(DOJ) on Nov. 18, 2024.
Requested from DOJ by V. Salanap at 03:14 PM on Nov. 18, 2024.
Purpose: Research for the LGU Taxes Issues
Tracking no: #DOJ-380310506117

Dear DOJ: Please provide what is the correct, legal and constitutional interpretation of Section 270, particularly, the 5 years Prescription Period. that is, from 1991, is there such Prescription on delinquent taxes as per the LGC or none? If taxes are unpaid since year 2000, isn't that as per Section 270 of the LGC, the taxes that are supposedly collectible is from year 2020 to 2024 and those taxes from year 2000 to 2019 already prescribed and cannot be collected anymore by the LGUs? Thank you.
