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.

HEADS UP, DEAR TAXPAYERS!

A FRIENDLY REMINDER FROM RDO 58 - WEST BATANGAS.

LAST DAY TO FILE!

The BIR is reminding taxpayers to pay their exact 2025 Annual Income Tax on the day of filing their Return.

Deadline: May 15, 2026

𝗕𝗜𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝟰𝟮𝟮.𝟯𝟳𝟴 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗟, 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) posted a gross collection of P422.378 billion in April 2026, exceeding the month’s goal by P12.776 billion or 3.12%. Based on preliminary data as of May 13, 2026, last month’s gross revenues likewise grew by P551.11 million or 0.13% compared to the same month last year.

This strong April performance came even with the moved deadline for filing the 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns (AITR), which President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ordered to give taxpayers more time to file properly and submit the required documents without penalties.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza attributes the strong collection performance to the intensified tax campaign efforts of the National Office, Revenue Regions, Revenue District Offices, and the Large Taxpayer Service in the past months, which helped encourage early and voluntary compliance.

“Even with the extension of the Annual Income Tax Return filing deadline, the BIR sustained solid collection performance in April, reflecting the impact of higher taxpayer confidence, better digital services, and continuing reforms under the BIR DARES reform agenda,” he said.

For the period January to April 2026, the BIR recorded total gross collections of P1.155 trillion, higher by P9.631 billion, or 0.84%, than the goal for the first four months of the year. Compared to the same period in 2025, total gross collections from January to April 2026 increased by P39.972 billion, posting a 3.58% year-on-year growth.

Commissioner Mendoza said the Bureau’s collection performance for the first four months shows that it remains on track to meet this year’s revenue goal while continuing to improve taxpayer service, and that the Bureau is optimistic for May collections to be positive as well, with the remaining 2025 annual income tax payments due mid-month.

“We remind taxpayers who availed of the extension to file their Annual Income Tax Returns and pay the corresponding taxes due by May 15, 2026. They should use the remaining time to complete their requirements properly and avoid the rush on the last day,” he said.

1 DAY LEFT! Pay as you file!
