RULINGS:
Both the BIR and the BOC principally perform the special function
of being the instrumentalities through which the State exercises one
of its great inherent functions – taxation. Indubitably, such substantial
distinction is germane and intimately related to the purpose of the
law. Hence, the classification and treatment accorded to the BIR and
the BOC under R.A. 9335 fully satisfy the demands of equal
protection.
