District Office (RDO), or the taxpayer has been enlisted/delisted as large taxpayer,

enlistment/delisting as large taxpayer, shall be conducted by the old handling BIR
Office.

In the same manner, all protests against deficiency tax assessment notices [e.g.,
Preliminary Assessment Notice (PAN), Formal Letter of Demand/Final Assessment
Notice (FLD/FAN), and Final Decision on Disputed Assessment (FDDA)] issued
against transferred or newly enlisted/delisted large taxpayers, shall be handled by
the old concerned BIR Office that issued such notice until settlement/termination of
the case. Unprotested tax assessments that matured into “delinquent accounts” shall
be referred to the new concerned BIR Office where the taxpayer is registered.
