Subject of the Disclosure
Recent Decision of the Court of Tax Appeals En Banc
Background/Description of the Disclosure
On 11 November 2025, SHLPH received a copy of the Decision dated 05 November 2025 issued by the Court of Tax Appeals En Banc in the consolidated cases docketed as CTA EB No. 2842 (entitled “Collector of Customs of the Port of Batangas and Bureau of Customs vs. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation”) and CTA EB No. 2844 (entitled “Commissioner of Internal Revenue, et al. vs. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation").
In the said Decision dated 05 November 2025, the CTA En Banc denied the consolidated Petitions for Review filed by the Bureau of Customs and Commissioner of Internal Revenue to question the earlier Decision dated 27 April 2023 of the Court of Tax Appeals Special Second (2nd) Division, which ruled that Alkylate is not subject to excise tax and granted SHLPH’s Amended Petition for Review dated 05 October 2012. The CTA 2nd Division had invalidated Document No. M-059-2012 dated 29 June 2012 issued by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue as well as the Letter dated 01 October 2012 of the Collector of Customs of the Port of Batangas which sought to impose taxes on SHLPH’s previous alkylate importations. Thus, the CTA 2nd Division prohibited the government from collecting, in any manner, excise taxes and value-added tax on SHLPH’s Alkylate importations.

Nature and description of the legal proceedings
On 11 November 2025, SHLPH received a copy of the Decision dated 05 November 2025 issued by the Court of Tax Appeals En Banc in the consolidated cases docketed as CTA EB No. 2842 (entitled “Collector of Customs of the Port of Batangas and Bureau of Customs vs. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation”) and CTA EB No. 2844 (entitled “Commissioner of Internal Revenue, et al. vs. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation").
In the said Decision dated 05 November 2025, the CTA En Banc denied the consolidated Petitions for Review filed by the Bureau of Customs and Commissioner of Internal Revenue to question the earlier Decision dated 27 April 2023 of the Court of Tax Appeals Special Second (2nd) Division, which ruled that Alkylate is not subject to excise tax and granted SHLPH’s Amended Petition for Review dated 05 October 2012.

Thus, the CTA 2nd Division prohibited the government from collecting, in any manner, excise taxes and value-added tax on SHLPH’s Alkylate importations.
The effect(s) on the Issuer's business or operations, if any
The CTA En Banc Decision affirms SHLPH’s position that alkylate is not subject to excise tax. Once the Decision becomes final, SHLPH will consider the necessary legal actions to recover amounts previously paid to the government under protest for its past alkylate importations. Currently, SHLPH is no longer importing alkylate.
