𝗕𝗜𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗔𝗧-𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗦

As part of the government’s continuing efforts to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 87-2026, publishing the updated list of Value-Added Tax (VAT)-exempt medicines endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pursuant to Republic Act No. 10963 (TRAIN Law) and Republic Act No. 11534 (CREATE Act).

The issuance supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive during his 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) to expand access to quality healthcare by reducing the cost of essential medicines.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza emphasized the Bureau’s commitment to implementing tax policies that directly improve the lives of Filipinos.

“The Bureau remains steadfast in implementing tax policies that directly benefit our people. By expanding the list of VAT-exempt medicines, we are helping make essential healthcare more affordable while supporting the President’s vision of a healthier and more resilient Philippines,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

With the latest update, the number of VAT-exempt medicines has increased to 2,277, including 14 newly added medicines. The expanded coverage helps reduce out-of-pocket medical expenses, particularly for Filipinos undergoing long-term treatment for chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

The updated list now covers medicines used in the treatment of:

* Cancer – 708 medicines

* Hypertension – 537 medicines

* Diabetes – 331 medicines

* Mental Illness – 300 medicines

* High Cholesterol – 172 medicines

* Kidney Disease – 152 medicines

* Tuberculosis – 77 medicines

Every peso saved through the VAT exemption helps families continue treatment, purchase essential medicines, and better manage their daily needs.

By making healthcare more affordable, the government also supports better treatment outcomes and improves the quality of life of millions of Filipinos.

While the Bureau continues to fulfill its mandate of generating revenues for national development, it likewise ensures that the tax system delivers meaningful and tangible benefits to the Filipino people.

SEC suspends monthly penalties until 2026!

The Commission halts compounding fines for late or non-filing of reports, easing compliance costs and supporting business growth.

📣 𝗦𝗘𝗖 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suspending until December 31, 2026 the imposition of monthly penalties in the late or non-filing of reportorial requirements, as it seeks to reduce transaction costs and promote the ease of doing business.

In its meeting on May 5, the Commission En Banc approved the suspension of penalties imposed for every month of delay for the late or non-filing of reportorial requirements, as provided under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 6, Series of 2024 (MC 6).

“As we celebrate the Ease of Doing Business month this May, the SEC reaffirms its commitment to foster a robust and responsive business environment,” SEC Chairperson Francis Lim said.

“By suspending the compounding monthly penalties, we are providing corporations an opportunity to get back their good standing without the burden of mounting transaction costs, as part of our goal of pushing corporations toward full compliance and sustainable growth,” he added.

The suspension will apply to corporations with pending monitoring applications. Corporations that have received final assessments but have not yet settled payment will be issued updated assessments excluding the per month of delay components.
