eAFS filing extended

𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬 : 𝗕𝗜𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗘𝗔𝗙𝗦 𝗦𝗨𝗕𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝟮𝟱

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has announced that it is extending the deadline for the submission of the 2025 Audited Financial Statements (AFS) and other mandatory attachments through the Electronic Audited Financial Statements (eAFS) facility until May 25, 2026.

The extension was finalized through Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 46-2026 to provide administrative relief to taxpayers who encountered eAFS system-related technical issues during the recently concluded 2025 Annual Income Tax Return (AITR) filing season.

Under this issuance, penalties arising solely from delayed attachment submissions during this period are waived.

The extension until May 25, 2026, strictly applies to the following taxpayers:

1. Those who were unable to successfully upload their 2025 AFS and attachments through the eAFS platform on or before May 15, 2026, due to system-related issues; and

2. Those who utilized the contingency email submission route on or before May 15, 2026, but have not yet received an official email acknowledgment receipt from their concerned BIR office.

Taxpayers who submitted their attachments through the prescribed contingency email procedure on or before May 15, 2026, and have already received an email acknowledgment from their concerned BIR office, are considered fully compliant.

They are not required to resubmit via the eAFS facility, though they may still choose to do so voluntarily.

The BIR clarified that this extension applies only to the submission of the AFS and related attachments through the eAFS facility. It does not extend the statutory deadline for the filing and payment of the Annual Income Tax Return (AITR) itself.

The full copy of the guidelines can be accessed through this link:https://bir-cdn.bir.gov.ph/BIR/pdf/RMC%20No.%2046-2026.pdf

Clarification. AITR extension due date May 15, 2026 together with the eAFS or AITR attachments submissions.

Pinalawig natin ang deadline ng filing ng 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns mula April 15 hanggang May 15, 2026. Mas may oras ang bawat taxpayer na makapag-file nang maayos, kasama ang lahat ng kailangang dokumento, at walang ipapataw na penalties.

Maaaring mag-file at magbayad sa pamamagitan ng BIR electronic platforms, o sa mga Authorized Agent Banks.

Ginawa natin ito para mas magaan ang pagbabayad ng bawat Pilipino, lalo na sa panahong ramdam ang pagtaas ng presyo ng langis. Tuloy-tuloy ang ating ginagawa para maibsan ang bigat sa araw-araw na buhay ng ating mga kababayan.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has officially launched its first-ever interactive digital Tax Calendar for 2026 with the issuance of Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 110-2025.

Said digital tax calendar, which is accessible online through the BIR website (www.bir.gov.ph), is an innovative tool designed to help taxpayers and tax practitioners to easily track, manage, and comply with the Bureau's tax return filing and tax payment deadlines.

To enhance the user experience, the digital tax calendar combines functionality with visual clarity through its user-friendly interface featuring clickable dates showing tax reminders for the day, and quick links to BIR Forms, BIR Directory, List of Authorized Agent Banks and BIR social media accounts.

We encourage all taxpayers to access the interactive digital Tax Calendar and use it as their Guide to Tax Compliance", said Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza.
