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.

Ever heard of a Compromise Penalty? Let’s break it down!

In the world of tax compliance, a Compromise Penalty is a voluntary, negotiated settlement fee paid by taxpayers in lieu of criminal prosecution for specific tax violations.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Purpose: It resolves administrative or minor criminal tax infractions without the need for lengthy court proceedings.
✅ Nature: It is entirely consensual.
✅ Important Note: Because it is voluntary, the BIR cannot force a taxpayer to pay a compromise penalty.

Understanding your tax rights and options is the first step toward better compliance. Keep learning and stay informed! 📚🇵🇭
