AMENDING PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NUMBERED SIX HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE

Number
Presidential Decree No. 662
Date of approval
Sections
5
Preamble

WHEREAS, there were many taxpayers who were not able to file

the amnesty return and pay the tax due thereon under Presidential

Decree No. 631 on the last day for filing and payment of the tax

inasmuch as the last day fell on the date immediately following the

National Referendum and the long holiday period;

WHEREAS, the proximity of the last day for paying the

amnesty tax almost coincides with the deadlines for paying income tax

for 1974, as well as with other payments of other governmental fees

during the first quarter of 1975 which may upset the financial plans of

taxpayers, thereby making it difficult for them to comply promptly with

the various requirements of their obligations to the government within

the short interval of time;

WHEREAS, there are many Filipinos residing abroad who may

want to avail of the benefits provided for by Presidential Decree No.

631 which grants ultimate tax amnesty but were unable to do so due to

lack of adequate information.

WHEREAS, in view of the short time from the date of issuance

of the decree to the last clay for filing not all those who may want to

avail of the amnesty were informed.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the

Philippines, by virtue of the powers in me vested by the Constitution do

hereby decree and order:
