2. Compromise Rate - The rate of compromise as provided under paragraph 2 of RMO No. 29-90 is hereby revised as follows:

a. 1986 and prior years: 50% of the basic tax assessed, provided that 30% may be accepted only on the ground of clear financial incapacity of taxpayer.

b. 1987 and 1988: 100% of the basic tax assessed, provided that 50% may be accepted only on the ground of clear financial incapacity of taxpayer.

3. All Delinquent Accounts with pending offers of compromise under RMO No. 1-88, as last amended by RMO No. 29-90 but not yet finally approved as of December 31, 1990, may be processed subject to the rates and conditions prescribed in this Order.
