Key points

  1. Section 200(B) of the Tax Code. Unless the Secretary of Finance prescribes otherwise, the DST return is filed within ten (10) days after the close of the month the taxable document was made, signed, issued, accepted or transferred. The tax is paid when the return is filed.
  2. Existing deadline stays. RR No. 6-2001, issued under the Secretary of Finance’s authority, requires filing within FIVE (5) DAYS after the close of the month, with payment at the same time. Since the EOPT Law did not change the deadline, the rule under RR No. 6-2001 applies.
