RMO No. 26-2007: Prescribes the policies and guidelines in the appointment and transfer of internal revenue personnel

Key points

1. Presidential appointees. The CIR signs proposed appointments as recommending official, addressed to the President through the Secretary of Finance. The Secretary may or may not indorse them. If not indorsed, the documents go back to the CIR.
2. Non-presidential appointees. The CIR signs appointments for National Office SG 1 to 24 (up to SG 25 for Attorney’s item) and for Regional Office SG 12 to 24 (up to SG 25 for Attorney’s item). The Regional Director signs for Regional Office SG 1 to 11.
3. Transfers and reassignments. Transfers, assignments, reassignments and temporary designations are approved by the listed signatories with concurrence of their higher officials. No RTAO is valid without concurrence of the concerned Deputy Commissioner, Commissioner or Secretary of Finance.
4. Notice and consent. The Secretary of Finance is notified of CIR-signed transfers and designations for SG 22 and above. Except for positions higher than SG 19, no transfer request is approved without written consent of the Head of Office where the person is assigned and the office to which he will move.
