CIR v. Acesite Hotel Corp

Acesite Hotel leased space to PAGCOR for casino operations. PAGCOR paid Acesite the amount due minus VAT, while Acesite paid the VAT to CIR. However, Acesite later realized its transaction with PAGCOR should be VAT zero-rated as PAGCOR is a tax-exempt entity. The issue was whether PAGCOR's tax exemption included exemption from indirect VAT. The court ruled yes, that PAGCOR was exempt from both direct and indirect taxes like VAT, so the transaction between Acesite and PAGCOR was zero-rated.

CIR v. Acesite Hotel Corp.

Facts: Acesite is the owner and operator of the Holiday Inn Manila Pavilion Hotel along United
Nations Avenue in Manila. It leases 6,768.53 square meters of the hotels premises to the
Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation [hereafter, PAGCOR] for casino operations.

PAGCOR paid the amount due to Acesite minus the P30,152,892.02 VAT while the latter paid
the VAT to the CIR as it feared the legal consequences of non-payment of the tax. However,
Acesite belatedly arrived at the conclusion that its transaction with PAGCOR was subject to zero
rate as it was rendered to a tax-exempt entity.

Issue: whether PAGCORs tax exemption privilege includes the indirect tax of VAT to entitle
Acesite to zero percent (0%) VAT rate

Ruling: Yes. PAGCOR was not only exempt from direct taxes but was also exempt from indirect
taxes like the VAT and consequently, the transactions between respondent Acesite and
PAGCOR were effectively zero-rated because they involved the rendition of services to an entity
exempt from indirect taxes.
