RESOLUTION CTA EB No. 1202 Page 2 of3 In support of her Motion, petitioner raises the following arguments, to wit: 1. Excess tax credits carried over to the succeeding years should be disallowed for failure to support the same with BIR Form 2307 (Certificate of Creditable Tax Withheld at Source). 2. Claims for tax credit of any creditable income tax is established by a copy of the withholding tax statement duly issued by the payor to the payee showing the amount paid and the amount of tax withheld therefrom, pursuant to Section 2.58.3 (A)(B) of Revenue Regulations No. 2-98, as amended. 3. Excess tax credits carried over to the succeeding year in the amount of P837,589.42 should be disallowed in order to recapture the benefit derived in crediting the same. To allow respondent to carry-over the excess tax credit and the MCIT and credit it in the succeeding years and of the same be credited in the year the MCIT was paid by offsetting the same from deficiency income tax would result to double benefit. 4. Finally, taxes are important because it is the lifeblood of the government and so should be calculated without necessary hindrance. In its Comment, respondent counters that the issues raised by the petitioner in her Motion for Reconsideration are merely rehash of issues already presented, which have been duly resolved and passed upon by this Court. Petitioner failed to allege new matters as to show a reversible error to warrant a modification, much less a reversal of its earlier findings and conclusion. THE COURT EN BANC'S RULING Petitioner's Motion lacks merit. A careful perusal of the Motion for Reconsideration shows that the arguments raised therein are mere reiterations of matters which have already been considered, weighed, passed upon and resolved by the Court En Bane in the assailed Decision/l'f

WHEREFORE, premises considered, the instant Motion for Reconsideration is hereby DENIED for lack of merit. SO ORDERED. AE:~s~.usUtiYce WE CONCUR: Presiding Justice c. ~~ ~.,__e:-.&._ cy LOVELL R.
