The inventory of outstanding  Letters of Authority/Audit Notices, and Letter Notices as of June 30, 2016, shall be submitted to the Office of the Commissioner in Excel format, both in softcopy in CD/DVD and hardcopy, on or before July 16, 2016. 

Moreover, no written orders to audit and/or investigate taxpayers' internal revenue tax liabilities shall be issued and/or served except in the following cases:

- Investigation of cases prescribing on or before October 31, 2016; 

- Processing and verification of estate tax returns, donor's tax returns, capital gains tax returns and withholding tax returns on the sale of real properties or shares of stocks together with the documentary stamp tax returns related thereto;

- Examination and/or verification of internal revenue tax liabilities of taxpayers retiring from business;

- Audit of National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Units (LGUs) and Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) including subsidiaries and affiliates; and
