BIR ISSUANCES

REDEMPTION OF PROPERTY SOLD IN PUBLIC AUCTION REQUIRES PAYMENT OF ALL TAXES, INTERESTS, AND PENALTIES.  A delinquent taxpayer redeeming property sold in public auction
must pay: 1) public taxes; 2) penalties; 3) interest from the date of delinquency to the date of sale; and 4) interest onpurchase price at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date of purchase to the date of redemption to the Revenue District Officer (“RDO”) for the redemption to be valid. Failure to pay all public taxes, including interests and penalties, invalidates the redemption. RMC No. 046-18, issued on June 05, 2018.
