EXERCISES 23– 1. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS / PROBLEMS
1.
Yes. The exemption from imprisonment refers to non-payment of poll tax. A poll tax is
a tax imposed on residents of a certain territory, without regard to his property or the
occupation in which he may be engaged.
The additional community tax is not a poll tax because it is based on earnings
derived from business, exercise of profession or pursuit of an occupation.

No. An individual is not required to pay the community tax until he/she reaches the age
of 18. Considering the Daisy Saez is only 16 years old, she is not yet liable to pay the
said tax.
a.
No. In practice, government employees usually refuse to accept payments
below P5.00. This practice is not proper because if individuals are not yet required
to pay the tax but they want to secure a community tax certificate, they should not
be required to pay P5.
b.
P1 only. This is the amount required by law to be collected on individuals who
are not yet required by law to pay the tax but wanting to secure a Community Tax
Certificate.

5. a. No. Section 160 of the Local Government Code is explicit that “the community tax
shall be paid in the place of residence of the individual, or in the place where the
principal office of the juridical entity is located. Thus, Marie should have paid the tax in
Buhi, Camarines Sur.
b.
The code is silent in this point. However, it is submitted that since the
provisions of Sec. 160 is mandatory in implementation the payment of the community
tax in Legazpi City is not valid.
