CON,TIT%TIONAL LIITATION,
Due Process Clause
-* why is it a limitation to the power to ta/LA* he due process clause as a limitation to the power to
ta/ re*ers both to substantive and procedural due process.
Substantive due process requires that a ta/ statute must be
within the constitutional authority o* Congress to pass andthat it be reasonable? *air and 7ust.
5rocedural due process? on the other hand? requires
notice and hearing or at least the opportunity to be heard.
E/: On Substantive Due 5rocess- when the Congress passes a law e/empting the &%th month pay *rom ta/ but
with the concurrence only o* the ma7ority o* the quorum ,
law would be invalid because the Constitution provides
that any grant o* ta/ e/emption shall be passed with theconcurrence o* the ma7ority o* all the members o* the
Congress.
-* Does it *ollow that the adverse party must always benoti*iedLA* =o. "s a rule? notice and hearing or the opportunity
to be heard is necessary only when e/pressly required by
law. Ahere there is no such requirement? notice and theopportunity to be heard are dispensable.
E/. @e*ore Oct. &? &++? you can secure a RO
without noti*ying the adverse party. * you are a suspect
in a criminal case? you have the right to have anopportunity to be heard >i* there is a law).
@e*ore 8uly &? &++(? no notice need be given to a
party declared in de*ault. "*ter the amendment? the partydeclared in de*ault has to be noti*ied o* subsequent
proceedings albeit without the right to participate therein.
n the case o* a search warrant? the person to be
searched was not noti*ied. he person searched cannot
claim that there was a violation o* due process becausethere is no law requiring that the person to be searched
should be noti*ied.
Regarding delinquent ta/ payers? be*ore levy?
there must be notice.
RE"SO=:
=o provision o* law requires notice to the adverse
party. * the adverse party is noti*ied? he may abscond.hus? in adversarial proceedings? in connection with
procedural due process? the adverse party need not be
noti*ied all the time.
Equal Protection Clause
N "s a rule? ta/payers o* the same *ooting are treatedali9e? both as to privileges con*erred and liabilities
imposed. Di**erence in treatment is allowed only when
based on substantial distinction. Di**erence in treatment
not based on substantial distinction is *rowned upon as
Pclass legislation.Q his is violated when ta/payers belonging to the same classi*ication are treated di**erently
*orm one anotherF and ta/payers belonging di**erent
classi*ications are treated ali9e.
Requirements of Reasonable Classification:&) here must be substantial distinctions that ma9e
a real di**erence.
!) t must be germane or relevant to the purpose o* the law.
%) he distinction or classi*ication must apply not
only to the present but also to *uture situations.
4) he distinction must apply to persons? things andtransactions belonging to the same class.
E/: n one case? a ta/ ordinance was assailed on the
ground that the ordinance *ailed to distinguish a wor9er *orm casual? permanent or temporary. he SC said that
the ordinance was invalid because o* the *ailure to state
the said classi*ication.
n PEOPLE v. CAA! the Supreme Court mandated the
requisites *or a valid classi*ication.

operating their business outside the secured area. he
petitioners contended that the law in question wasviolative o* their right to equal protection o* laws
since they are also <ilipino businessmen.
1: he Supreme Court ruled that there was noviolation since the classi*ication was based on a
substantial distinction.
he element invo9ed here is element & that
there must be substantial distinction in theclassi*ication o* ta/payers on whom the ta/ will be
imposed.

OROC %#/AR CE0!RAL vs. C"R-* Ahat did the municipality o* Ormoc doLA* he City Council o* Ormoc passed a unicipal
Ordinance =o.4 imposing upon any and allcentri*ugal sugar milled at the Ormoc Sugar Central a
municipal ta/ on the net sale o* the same to the
Bnited States and other *oreign countries.-* Did the owner accept this impositionLA* =o. the ta/ due was paid under protest? then *iled a
complaint against the City o* Ormoc.
1: he Supreme Court said there was a violation o*
the equal protection clause. he element invo9ed herewas element %? that it must be applicable to both
present and *uture circumstances. he Supreme Court
said that one must go to the provision itsel*? in the
case at bar? there was a violation o* element % because the law was worded in such a way that it
only applies to Ormoc Sugar Central alone and to the
e/clusion o* all other sugar centrals to be established
in the *uture."E =OE: 5eople vs. Cayat
Freedom of Religion
t nvolves % hings:
&. *reedom to choose religion
!. *reedom to e/ercise oneHs religion%. prohibition upon the national government to
establish a national religion
-* Ahich one limits the power to ta/LA* 5rohibition upon the national government to establisha national religion because this will require a special
appropriation o* money coming *rom the national treasury
which is *unded by the ta/es paid by the people.
Non-impairment Clause
-* Ahat are the sources o* obligation in the Civil CodeL
A* 6aw? Contracts? 2uasi-Contracts? Delict? 2uasi-Delict.
-* Ahat is the obligation contemplated in thislimitationLA* hose obligations arising *rom contracts.
;eneral Rule: he power to ta/ is pursuant to law?there*ore? the obligation to pay ta/es is imposed by law?
thus the non-impairment clause does not apply.
N Iou have to determine *irst the source o* obligation:
&. * the law merely provides *or the *ul*illment o* the obligation then the law is not the source o* the
obligation.
!. Ahen the law merely recogni3es or
ac9nowledges the e/istence o* an obligation created by anact which may constitute a contract? quasi-contract? delict?
and quasi-delict? and its only purpose is to regulate such
obligation? then the act itsel* is the source o* the
obligation? not the law.Ahen the law establishes the obligation and also
provides *or its *ul*illment? then the law itsel* is the
source o* the obligation
-* So? in what instance does the non-impairment o*
contracts clause becomes a limitation to the power to ta/LA* it is when the ta/payer enters into a compromise
agreement with the government. n this instance? theobligation to pay the ta/ is now based on the contract
between the ta/payer and the government pursuant to
their compromise agreement.
a9e =ote: the requirement *or its application: the parties
are the government and private individual.
Poll Tax
-* Ahat is a poll ta/LA* t is a ta/ o* a *i/ed amount on individuals residing
within a particular territory? whether citi3ens or not?without regard to their property or to the occupation in
which they may be engaged.
t is a ta/ imposed on persons without anyquali*ications. persons may be allowed to pay even i* theyare not quali*ied as to age or property ownership.
E/ample o* 5oll a/: Community a/ Certi*icate under

-* Ahy is it a limitation to the power to ta/LA* t is a limitation to the power to ta/ because Congress

he contention o* the respondent is that thehospital was no longer a charitable institution
