In the face of a sustainability in norm at the time tax assessment rules occur, a taxpayer may petition, in accordance with stipulations set forth under paragraph 2, Article 28 of the Tax Collection Act and that under Article 128 of the Administrative Procedure Act, with the taxing authority to withdraw administrative procedure or modify the previous tax assessment rules, provided that the objective shall be restricted and the eligibility eliminated when a taxpayer is found with deliberate or gross negligence in delays by failing to exert whose due diligence during the legally designated remedies period when filing for a tax rebate as per stipulations set forth under paragraph 2, Article 28 of the Tax Collection Act.

If the petition should be overruled by taxing authority, the same legal remedies means identical to that of the previous rules may still be sought, and in light that the premise of the two disputes are not identical, the res judicata of the previous judgment is thus being eliminated amid the reopening of the administrative procedure.
