Policies and Guidelines for Proper Availment of Incentives for Free Legal Assistance (BIR Revenue Regulation No. 12-2022) | 14 February 2025

RA No. 9999, which was approved on February 23, 2010, was enacted in accordance with the State’s policy to guarantee free legal assistance to the poor and ensure that every person who cannot afford the services of a counsel is provided with competent and independent counsel preferably of his/her own choice.

On September 12, 2022, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 12-2022 to prescribe more definitive guidelines, procedures and requirements for the proper availment of the incentives granted to lawyers or professional partnerships that render actual free legal services under RA No. 9999 or otherwise known as the “Free Legal Assistance Act of 2010”.

In the recent case of XXX v. People (G.R. No. 268457) the Supreme Court held that when the infliction of physical injuries against a minor is done at the spur of the moment or intended to discipline or correct the wrongful behavior of the child, it is imperative that the specific intent to debase, degrade, or demean the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human be established.
