Problems with Closing a Business

This is a concern of APC taken from my other blog birtaxinfo.i.ph.  I decided to post it here to help others with similar concerns. The other reason being is I've been having problems in posting especially if it the post is longer. Please see below the post of APC:

I have a concern. I applied with BIR 4 years ago to open a business but two weeks after applying with the BIR, I decided not to start the business o applied for closure of business with the BIR. Now, in Jan 2011 I opened another business in another RDO and the BIR said I have to apply for transfer of my TIN from old RDO to new RDO. Unfortunately, when I was processing the transfer, the old RDO said I have to show proof of income tax payment in 2008, 2009, 2010.
