Holding a subpoena instead?

Stage 01 of 05

Letter of Authority, or eLA

It authorises a named revenue officer to examine your books for a stated period. It is the paper that opens an audit.

What usually follows. The examiner asks for records. If the examination turns up a discrepancy, a Notice of Discrepancy follows.

Or write to loa.taxspecialista@gmail.com with a photo of page one. KaTaxpayer replies within 24 hours.

Emelino T. Maestro, Certified Public Accountant

Rights first
Work begins with making the taxpayer understand the rights they already hold. Exposure tends to fall once that is clear.
Letters of Authority
Handles LOA cases so that the taxpayer's rights and the Bureau's own due process are observed and put on record.
Discrepancy assessments
Instrumental in reducing assessments and, in a number of matters, in having them nullified.
Computerised Accounting Systems
Designs components of BIR-required systems that connect business records with calculations, accounting entries and reports.

His purpose is not to promise a win. It is to help readers respond with understanding, care, and proof.
