46. Query: Is the BIR authorized to collect estate tax deficiencies by the summary
remedy of levy upon and sale of real properties of the decedent without first securing
the authority of the court sitting in probate over the supposedwill of the decedent?
Answer 1: Yes. The BIR is authorized to collect estate tax deficiency through the
summary remedy of levying upon and sale of real properties of a decedent,
without the cognition and authority of the court sitting in probate over the
supposedwill of the deceased, because the collection of estate tax is
executive in character. As such the estate tax is exempted from the
application of the statute of non- claims, and this is justified by the necessity
of government funding, immortalized in the maxim that taxes are the lifeblood
of the government.
Answer 2: Yes, if the tax assessment has already become final, executory and
enforceable. The approval of the court sitting in probate over the supposed
will of the deceased isnot a mandatory requirement for the collection of the
estate tax. The probate court is determining issues which are not against the
property of the decedent, or a claim against the estate as such, but is against
the interest or property right which the heir, legatee, devisee, etc. has in the
property formerly held by the decedent.
a. Both answers are correct
b. Only answer 1 is correct
c. Only answer 2 is correct
d. Both answers are incorrect
