Subject of the Disclosure

Receipt of SC Decision dated 15 March 2021 Remanding the Case on Alkylate Importations to CTA

Background/Description of the Disclosure

The BusinessWorld (Online Edition) published on 12 July 2021 the attached news report entitled “SC affirms nearly P2-B suspended taxes from Shell”, the pertinent portion reads:

“THE Supreme Court (SC) affirmed the suspension by the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) of the collection of excise taxes from Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. (PSPC) for its importation of a petroleum additive from January 2010 to June 2012 amounting to P1.99 billion.

However, the SC also ruled that CTA correctly refused to issue a suspension order on further taxation of PSPC’s shipment of the petroleum additive, alkylate.

In its decision promulgated March 15 and published on July 8, the high court said that the CTA can only decide on final and executory tax assessments.

On 12 July 2021, we disclosed by way of clarification of news article that Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation (“SHLPH”) was awaiting its copy of the Decision dated 15 March 2021 (“Decision”) from the Supreme Court (“SC”). We confirm that we received a copy of the Decision on 04 August 2021. The SC affirmed the suspension order by the Court of Tax Appeals (“CTA”) for SHLPH’s alkylate importations from January 2010 to June 2012 amounting to P1.99 billion. The SC likewise affirmed the power of the CTA to issue temporary restraining order/writ of preliminary injunction (“TRO/WPI”) to stop the government from collecting excise taxes on SHLPH’s subsequent alkylate importations. Accordingly, the SC remanded the case to the CTA for the determination of SHLPH’s entitlement to a TRO/WPI. To date, the merits of the case, including the very issue of whether SHLPH’s alkylate importations are subject to excise tax or not, are yet to be decided by the CTA. Following the Supreme Court’s directive to remand the case to the CTA, SHLPH has filed a motion to pursue a previous TRO application with the CTA to whom this matter has been remanded.
