The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), through Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 95-2026, has further extended to August 18, 2026, the specified tax filing, payment, remittance, registration, and submission deadlines for taxpayers in Habagat-affected areas previously covered by RMC No. 89-2026. The new Circular also expands the extension to taxpayers affected by the technical unavailability of the eBIRForms Offline Package.

For taxpayers covered by RMC No. 89-2026, the specified deadlines previously extended to August 17 are moved one more day to August 18.

Taxpayers affected by the eBIRForms technical issues are likewise given until August 18 to comply with the specified obligations covered by RMC 95-2026, without the corresponding penalties.

“We recognize the difficulties faced by taxpayers affected by the rains, as well as those who are unable to comply because of the technical issues with eBIRForms. We are giving them additional time to complete their tax obligations without penalty,” Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said.

The extension covers specified filing, payment, remittance, and submission requirements originally due from August 10 to 16, 2026, including applicable withholding tax returns, income tax returns, ONETT transactions, and other obligations enumerated in the Circular.

The BIR has likewise issued a Bank Bulletin directing Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) to accept covered tax returns and payments until August 18, 2026, without the corresponding penalties, from both taxpayers covered by the Habagat-related extension and those affected by the unavailability of the eBIRForms Offline Package.

The BIR clarified that taxpayers mandated to use the Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) who are not covered by RMC No. 89-2026 are not included in the extension and must continue to use eFPS to file their returns and pay taxes due.

“We remind covered taxpayers to complete their filing and payment requirements by August 18. At the same time, we assure taxpayers that when circumstances beyond their control make compliance difficult, the BIR will continue to respond reasonably and give them a fair opportunity to comply,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

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.

Many business owners use the terms bookkeeping and accounting interchangeably—but understanding the difference between the two can significantly improve how you manage your business finances.

Bookkeeping and accounting work closely together, but they serve different purposes:

Bookkeeping focuses on the day-to-day recording of financial transactions. This includes tracking sales, expenses, payments, and maintaining organized financial records.

Accounting, on the other hand, goes beyond recording. It involves analyzing financial data, preparing reports, and interpreting numbers to help business owners make informed decisions.

Without proper bookkeeping, accounting becomes unreliable.
Without accounting, bookkeeping lacks direction and purpose.

When both bookkeeping and accounting are properly managed, your business gains:
✔ Accurate and up-to-date financial records
✔ Clear understanding of income and expenses
✔ Reliable reports for decision-making
✔ Stronger financial control and compliance

Instead of guessing your numbers, you operate with clarity and confidence.

Not sure if your bookkeeping and accounting processes are properly aligned?

Our team can help you manage both—ensuring your records are accurate and your reports are meaningful.

📌 MAY 6

As a business owner, your time is often focused on what keeps your business moving—serving clients, managing operations, and driving sales.

But in the middle of all these responsibilities, one critical area is often set aside: your financial records.

When accounting and bookkeeping are not consistently managed, businesses may experience:
• Delayed or incomplete financial records
• Unclear tracking of income and expenses
• Difficulty preparing reports when needed
• Increased risk of compliance issues

These gaps don’t always show immediately—but over time, they affect how you understand and manage your business.

When your financial processes are properly handled, your business gains:
✔ Clear visibility of your financial position
✔ Organized and updated records
✔ Reliable data for decision-making
✔ Stronger compliance and reporting

Instead of reacting to problems, you operate with structure and confidence.

If you’ve been focusing on running your business but feel unsure about your financial records, our team can help you manage your accounting and compliance processes properly.

Running a business involves more than just managing daily operations—it requires structure, compliance, and accurate financial management behind the scenes.

Many business owners find themselves balancing multiple responsibilities, from accounting and tax filing to payroll and regulatory requirements, often without a centralized system to manage it all.

Each part of your business plays a critical role:
• Business registration ensures you operate legally
• Accounting and bookkeeping track your financial activity
• Tax compliance keeps you aligned with government regulations
• Payroll and HR support your workforce
• Audit and financial review strengthen your internal controls

When these processes are handled separately or inconsistently, it can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and compliance risks.

Having an integrated, end-to-end support system allows your business to operate with:
✔ Clear financial visibility
✔ Organized and accurate records
✔ Consistent compliance with regulations
✔ More efficient operations
✔ Better decision-making based on reliable data

Instead of managing each function independently, your business gains a partner who understands how all these pieces work together.
