John Taylor, a tax consultant, charges his clients a fee based on the percentage of the tax he saves a client. John received a payment from a client, but he realised that Angela didn’t declare income. Therefore, the income tax return that John’s prepared understated income tax liability.Taking into consideration the Accounting Professional Code of Conduct explain the Tax Penalties and actions John should take following his discovery.
Answer the following:
a.
Geoffrey filed his tax return 2 months and 8 days late and had not requested an extension of time for filing. Geoffrey's return indicated that he is to receive a $600 refund in taxes. Calculate the amount of Geoffrey's penalty for failure to file his tax return on time, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent.
b.
John filed his individual income tax return 3½months after it was due. He had not requested an extension of time for filing. Along with his return, John remitted a check for $1,000, which was the balance of the taxes he owed with his return. Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalty that John will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent (and that he is not subject to failure-to-pay penalties).
Juan inquired from the BIR whether or not he will be covered with the new tax law. The BIR issued an administrative ruling that his activities are not covered by the new tax law. As a result, Juan did not pay his tax for several years based on the said BIR ruling. Currently, the BIR Commissioner found out that the previous ruling was erroneous and reversed the same with a new BIR ruling. The BIR then issued tax assessment against Juan for purposes of collecting back taxes.Is the tax assessment against Juan correct?
A. Yes, because the previous BIR ruling was corrected and the activities of Juan should have been taxable.
B. Yes, because the ruling of the BIR Commissioner must be final.
C. No, Juan should be exempted from paying taxes under the old and new law.
D. No, because reversal of BIR ruling shall not be retroactive in application especially if the ruling is prejudicial to the taxpayer
