Provided, furthermore, that any TCC which remains unutilized for more than one (1) year at any given interval of time during its validity shall be converted into cash with prior written notice by the BIR, subject to availability of funds, in accordance with the procedural requirements that will be issued by the BIR for this purpose.
All expired TCCs, upon the effectivity of this Regulations, shall be automatically cancelled by the BIR, except those which are with the BIR, for purposes of utilization thru Tax Debit Memo, conversion or revalidation, before the expiration of their respective dates of validity: Provided, however, That the list of expired TCCs and names of its taxpayers-owners shall be circularized/posted in the BIR Website within thirty (30) days from the date of effectivity of this Regulations. The said circular or posting of the list is deemed a sufficient notice to the taxpayer-owner of the TCC.
