Difference between

Compromise and Abatement


• SECTION 204 of the Tax Code provides
two remedies to the taxpayer:
compromise and abatement.

• Compromise involves the payment of a


certain percentage of the tax liability
while abatement means cancellation so
there will be no payment of the tax
liability.
A taxpayer may file for a compromise on the
following grounds: a) doubtful validity; or b)
financial incapacity. On the other hand, a
taxpayer may file for abatement on the ground
of: a) unjust or excessive assessment; or b) the
cost of collection does not justify the collection
of the amount due.
