The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has filed criminal complaints with the Department of Justice (DOJ) against three companies and an individual who collectively owe the government P58.5 million in unpaid taxes, penalties, and surcharges dating back to 2017.

The four cases, filed separately, charge Annalyn Esteves Hara, Hamaya Philippines Corporation, Antipas DT Construction and Development Corporation, and SH Business Construction Services Inc, along with their responsible corporate officers, with willful failure to pay internal revenue taxes in violation of Section 255 of the National Internal Revenue Code.

The largest liability is owed by Hamaya Philippines Corporation, a company registered in Bacoor, Cavite, which owes P27.294 million in deficiency income tax and withholding tax for taxable year 2017. Sorsogon taxpayer Annalyn Esteves Hara faces a P15.903-million liability covering income tax and value-added tax for the same year. Antipas DT Construction, based in Digos, Davao del Sur, owes P9.661 million in income tax, expanded withholding tax, value-added tax (VAT), and documentary stamp tax for the taxable year 2019. SH Business Construction Services, which could no longer be found at its registered address when the BIR served notices, faces a P5.648-million liability in income tax and VAT for 2017.

In all four cases, the BIR said the taxpayers failed to respond despite repeated notices, final assessment notices, and warrants of distraint and levy issued over several years before criminal action was pursued. Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said the tax obligations do not disappear simply because notices are ignored.

“Once assessments become final and executory, the BIR is prepared to pursue the appropriate legal remedies, including criminal action,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

“We remind taxpayers to respond promptly to BIR notices and settle their obligations through the proper channels before cases escalate further,” he added.

With these four cases, the BIR has now filed a total of 78 cases before the DOJ under the Run After Tax Evaders (RATE) Program since Commissioner Mendoza assumed office six months ago, as part of the Revenue Collection and Base Protection pillar of BIR DARES.

Conviction under Section 255 carries a fine of at least P10,000 and imprisonment of between one and 10 years. Corporate officers found liable face additional penalties under Sections 253 and 256 of the Tax Code.

During the Taxpayer Portal Launch for the Large Taxpayers Service on May 26, 2026, Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza emphasized the Bureau’s “improve-as-we-go” approach in moving reforms forward under BIR DARES.

The Department of Finance (DOF) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) launched the Taxpayer Portal (TP Portal) for taxpayers registered under the Large Taxpayers Service (LTS) on May 26, 2026, at the BIR National Office in Quezon City.

The TP Portal is a secure, centralized digital platform that helps taxpayers manage their tax records and transactions in one place. Through the portal, taxpayers may view their registration details, monitor filed tax returns by tax type, track tax payments, access account ledgers, and receive system-generated reminders. The platform is intended to give taxpayers and the Bureau a more consistent and organized view of taxpayer information while helping simplify day-to-day compliance management.

Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go served as the keynote speaker at the launch, which was attended by DOF officials, BIR Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, officials and personnel, and representatives from the business sector and LTS taxpayers.

"In the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., we actually are always pushing to find pain points, to find challenging experiences of Filipinos when dealing with the government, and trying to find solutions to those pain points. What is happening here this morning is a very, very good example of how the Bureau of Internal Revenue, led by Commissioner Mendoza, has been responding to the call of the administration. So, congratulations to the BIR," said Secretary Go.

Secretary Go highlighted that the TP Portal would eliminate the need for taxpayers to navigate complex multiple systems, fragmented records, and repeated follow-ups to complete what should be straightforward obligations.

“Instead of going through separate platforms and scattered records, everything is now in one place. One portal. One account. One complete, reliable view of your tax records. No more unnecessary steps,” he said.

“To my BIR family, this milestone reflects your hard work and a shift in mindset. We are moving towards a government that is faster, more responsive, and more transparent. This portal is not the end goal. It is a major step towards better systems. Every improvement we make in tax administration strengthens our entire nation,” he closed.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza also addressed over 300 LTS taxpayers, recalling that six months ago, the Bureau committed to pursuing reforms to create lasting improvements in taxpayer service, integrity, and professionalism.

“Over the past several months, we have been delivering on that commitment. We accelerated the rollout of digital initiatives designed to improve taxpayer experience, strengthen efficiency, and promote voluntary compliance,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

He cited the TP Portal as the latest in a series of digital initiatives rolled out by the Bureau in the first 5 months of 2026, following the Interactive Digital Tax Calendar, LOA Verifier, QR Code Verification System for Certificates of Registration, Digital TIN via the eGovPH App, BIR Form 1701-MS for micro and small taxpayers, and the QR-enabled Registration Seal Badge for online businesses.

Commissioner Mendoza explained that the TP Portal pilot implementation initially covers taxpayers under the Large Taxpayers Service to allow the Bureau to work closely with taxpayers operating at the highest levels of business and compliance complexity as the system continues to be strengthened and refined.

“To our taxpayers under the Large Taxpayers Service, your role in the country’s economy goes beyond collections,” Commissioner Mendoza said. “Your discipline, consistency, and professionalism in tax compliance help reinforce confidence in the Philippines as a stable, credible, and investment-ready business environment.”

The launch program included a Taxpayer Portal overview video, live account creation, taxpayer testimonials, and messages from BIR officials.

Commissioner Mendoza emphasized that the TP Portal forms part of the Bureau’s broader modernization efforts under BIR DARES.

“BIR DARES is about having the courage to move reforms forward in 2026 with an improve-as-we-go mindset instead of waiting for systems to become perfect before implementation. That is how we intend to move forward with the TP Portal,” Commissioner Mendoza said.
