The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), through Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 89-2026, has extended to Monday, August 17, 2026, specified statutory tax deadlines falling from August 10 to 16, 2026, for taxpayers under Revenue District Offices (RDOs) affected by the continued heavy rainfall brought about by the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.

The Circular covers 58 BIR offices and units, including 53 regular RDOs and five Large Taxpayer Audit and Excise Divisions. The extension applies to specified tax filings, payments, remittances, registration, and required submissions through e-Filing, e-Payment, eFPS, and manual channels, as enumerated in the Circular.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said the extension reflects the BIR’s commitment to putting taxpayers at the heart of its decisions.

“We recognize the difficulties brought about by the prevailing weather conditions. We are giving our affected taxpayers additional time so they can prioritize their safety this week and comply with their tax obligations without having to worry about penalties.”

The BIR has likewise issued Bank Bulletin No. 2026-09 covering the acceptance by Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) of applicable tax returns and payments from taxpayers under the affected RDOs until August 17, 2026, without the corresponding penalties.

RMC No. 89-2026 was issued pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 123, dated August 9, 2026, issued by the Office of the President upon the recommendation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), allowing work-from-home arrangements in government offices in Metro Manila and 15 provinces on August 10, 2026, due to the continued heavy rainfall brought about by the Southwest Monsoon.

The BIR reminds taxpayers to check the complete list of affected RDOs and Large Taxpayer divisions, as well as the specific tax deadlines covered by the extension, under RMC No. 89-2026.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 47-2026 on May 19, 2026, prescribing new guidelines to simplify the process for closing businesses and cancelling tax registration, as part of the implementation of Republic Act No. 11976, otherwise known as the “Ease of Paying Taxes Act.”

“This is our ‘Ease of Closing Business’ reform,” Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said. “In line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to make government services faster, better, and more responsive, and Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go’s push to make tax administration more investor-friendly and business-friendly, the BIR is making it easier for taxpayers who have already ceased operations to properly close their business and cancel their registration.”

“From improving the ease of doing business and the ease of paying taxes, this reform completes the BIR’s support for businesses through every stage of the business life cycle. If we make it easier to start and operate a business, then the government must also make it easier to properly close BIR registration once operations have already ceased,” he added.

Under RMC No. 47-2026, taxpayers who have already ceased operations may now apply for the closure or cancellation of their registration, either manually or electronically, through the Revenue District Office where their head office or branch is registered.

The Circular simplifies and standardizes documentary requirements. Together with the application form and the surrender of original BIR registration documents and permits previously issued to the business, taxpayers will only be required to submit two other document sets for closure: the list of ending inventory of goods and supplies, including capital goods for VAT-registered taxpayers, and the unused invoices, supplementary documents, and other unutilized accounting forms, together with their inventory.

Under the new guidelines, penalties for non-filing of tax returns shall no longer accrue once the taxpayer submits the complete documentary requirements for the closure or cancellation of registration. To prevent the further accumulation of open cases, the taxpayer’s registered form types shall likewise be placed under “deregistered” status upon submission of the complete requirements. Filing an application for the closure or cancellation of registration, however, does not preclude the Bureau from conducting an audit to determine any outstanding tax liabilities.

In addition, micro taxpayers shall not be subject to mandatory audit for closure and/or cancellation of business registration. Hence, tax clearances will be issued within three (3) working days from submission of complete documentary requirements for those with no open cases or outstanding liabilities. For micro taxpayers with open cases, tax clearance will be issued within three (3) working days from the submission of the complete documentary requirements and the payment of outstanding liabilities, including penalties.

Commissioner Mendoza encouraged taxpayers who have already ceased operations to avail themselves of the streamlined process to avoid the continued accumulation of penalties and to properly update their registration records with the Bureau.

Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza met with Philippine Social Security System - SSS President and CEO Robert Joseph M. de Claro to discuss a proposed memorandum of agreement (MOA) and data sharing agreement (DSA) between the BIR and the SSS.

The discussion focused on aligning key information, particularly the Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) of employers and employees as reported to the SSS, with BIR records.

The proposed agreement aims to help ensure that employers are accurately reporting their employees for purposes of SSS contributions and properly remitting withheld tax on compensation income. For the BIR, it also supports efforts to protect the revenue base through improved compliance.

Commissioner Mendoza was joined by Deputy Commissioner Ma. Rosario Charo G. Enriquez-Curiba of the Information Systems Group, Head Revenue Executive Assistant James R. Ferrer of the Large Taxpayers Service–Programs and Compliance Group, and other officials from the National Office.
