Question 20
20. Quezon City assessed the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) of real property
taxes on its properties consisting of lands, buildings, machineries, and terminal
stations. Despite repeated demands from Quezon City, LRTA failed to pay its
outstanding obligations, prompting the city to issue a notice of delinquency with
warrants of levy. LRTA questioned the assessments of Quezon City, claiming
that it is exempt from real property tax. LRTA argues that it is operating a light
rail transit system for the Philippines, which is the true owner of the subject real
properties. Is LRTA exempt from real property tax? Explain briefly.
