A taxpayer has unutilized or excess Creditable Withholding Taxes (CWT) for the taxable year 2019. The taxpayer has collected its CWT certificates or BIR Form 2307 from its income payors/customers. Assuming during the review of the taxpayer for his Annual Income Tax Return filed for the year 2019, the taxpayer decided to apply for a refund instead of its initial decision of carrying the excess forward to the next taxable periods. Is the application valid?
