The Department of Finance (DOF), upon the recommendation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), issued Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 3-2026 on April 17, 2026, providing the implementing guidelines for the temporary suspension of excise taxes on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and kerosene.

The regulations implement Executive Order No. 114 series of 2026, issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on April 16, 2026, entitled “Temporarily Suspending the Excise Taxes on Specific Petroleum Products Pursuant to Section 148 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as Amended.”

The RR No. 3-2026 provides that, beginning April 17, 2026, the imposition of excise taxes on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), except when used as raw material for the production of petrochemical products or for motive power, and on kerosene, except when used as aviation fuel, is fully suspended. The issuance further provides that the temporary suspension shall remain in effect for a period of three months, subject to monthly review by the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC).

The guidelines also direct the BIR and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to submit to Congress a monthly report on the declared value and volume of the covered petroleum products, based on the Authorities to Release Imported Goods for imported petroleum products and the Official Registry Books of manufacturers for locally produced petroleum products, or Customs Entries filed in the E2M System, as applicable. They also specify the documentary requirements for importers and manufacturers of the covered products, stock inventory requirements, and penalties for violations.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said the Bureau is working closely with the DOF to swiftly implement the President’s directive on the suspension and is also studying other measures to support the government’s relief efforts during the crisis.

In a joint announcement at the Department of Finance today, Finance Secretary Frederick Go and Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Charlito Mendoza announced the immediate and temporary suspension of all field audits and related operations of the BIR.

“I have ordered the immediate suspension of all field audits and related operations, including the issuance of Letters of Authority and Mission Orders, effective immediately, in accordance with Revenue Memorandum Circular 107-2025. No Letter of Authority or Mission Order shall be created, printed, signed, or served during the suspension period,” detailed Commissioner Mendoza.

In his first week in office, Commissioner Mendoza convened key units of the Bureau of Internal Revenue to gain a thorough understanding of existing audit operations and to identify long-standing issues that have affected taxpayer experience and internal discipline. The suspension was issued after extensive internal consultations and was undertaken with the guidance and strategic oversight of Finance Secretary Frederick Go to ensure full alignment with national priorities on good governance, taxpayer protection, and efficient revenue administration.

“This is in response to the concerns raised by the taxpayers regarding the issuance of Letters of Authority and Mission Orders. We hear the people, we hear your concerns, and are immediately acting on them. The people deserve better,” said Secretary Go, emphasizing that the Department of Finance is committed to protecting taxpayers from potential abuse through a comprehensive review of our existing policies and procedures.

The temporary suspension applies to all BIR offices involved in audit and field operations, including the Large Taxpayers Service, Revenue Regions and District Offices, Assessment Divisions, VAT Audit Units, and Intelligence and Special Audit Units. The exceptions to RMC 107-2025 apply only to urgent or legally mandated cases such as active criminal investigations, one-time transactions, audits prescribing within six months, refund claims that require audits, or immediate action on taxpayers flagged by verified intelligence.

“This suspension is necessary to protect taxpayer rights, strengthen internal discipline, and ensure the integrity of our audit processes. We take every complaint seriously, and any misuse of authority, harassment, or irregularity has no place in the Bureau,” Commissioner Mendoza emphasized.

“All taxpayers shall be treated with the highest degree of professionalism, courtesy, and adherence to the rule of law. Our economy is built upon the contributions of our taxpayers, who deserve fair and honest tax audits,” explained Secretary Go.

Commissioner Mendoza also instructed the creation of a Technical Working Group on LOA and Mission Order Integrity and Audit Reforms to lead the reform efforts. The group is tasked with evaluating existing procedures, identifying operational and systemic vulnerabilities, recommending revised LOA protocols, and integrating digital safeguards and uniform audit standards.

“Our goal is to create processes that are predictable, evidence-based, technology-driven, and fair,” explained Commissioner Mendoza, reiterating that these systems are meant to protect taxpayers while helping the Bureau perform its mandate efficiently.

“I cannot overemphasize President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s directive for the BIR to continue meeting revenue targets while strengthening service delivery for workers, small business owners, and all taxpayers who rely on predictable and transparent audit processes. The overarching directive of the President when I assumed office is to ensure efficient and fair revenue collections,” Commissioner Mendoza said to end the joint announcement.
