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.

Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go underscored the Marcos administration’s continued push to improve government services and address the everyday challenges Filipinos experience in dealing with government agencies during his keynote at the launch of the Taxpayer Portal for the Large Taxpayers Service on May 26, 2026 at the BIR National Office.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) reported early gains from its reform initiatives during Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza’s first six months in office, with gross collections reaching P1.155 trillion from January to April 2026.

Speaking before the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (AmCham) during a dialogue on the BIR’s tax priorities and modernization initiatives held on May 20, 2026, in Makati City, Commissioner Mendoza said the BIR exceeded its four-month collection target by P9.631 billion, or 0.84%, even after the Annual Income Tax Return filing deadline was extended from April 15 to May 15 upon the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. For April alone, the BIR posted P422.378 billion in gross collections, exceeding the month’s goal by P12.776 billion, or 3.12%.

“While stronger collections are important, how we collect matters just as much,” Commissioner Mendoza said, citing ongoing reforms in audit, digitalization, taxpayer service, and regulatory simplification.

In his keynote, Commissioner Mendoza reported that the BIR had stabilized audit and collection concerns in his first seven weeks in office, then launched BIR DARES in January, the Bureau’s five-pillar reform agenda covering Digital and Data Transformation, Audit Reform and Accountability, Revenue Collection and Revenue Base Protection, Employee Empowerment and Welfare Promotion, and Service Excellence and Stakeholder Engagement.

“The Bureau is moving with greater urgency today, not only on reforms that taxpayers can immediately feel, but also on long-term institutional changes that will strengthen tax administration well beyond the present moment,” Commissioner Mendoza added.

“These are not stopgap solutions. They are part of a broader effort to build a more modern, accountable, and service-oriented BIR,” he emphasized.

Among the reforms Commissioner Mendoza highlighted were the one-LOA-per-taxpayer-per-taxable-year policy, system-assisted case selection, the LOA Verifier through REVIE, the Interactive Digital Tax Calendar, Digital TIN via the eGovPH App, BIR Form No. 1701-MS for micro and small taxpayers, the QR-enabled Registration Seal Badge, and the soft launch of the Taxpayer Portal for the Large Taxpayers Service.

Commissioner Mendoza also highlighted internal reforms, such as the strengthened Digital Transformation Steering Committee (DXSC) and the rollout of ReMIND, the Revenue Management and Intelligence Dashboard, which provides real-time visibility into collections, enforcement activities, and operational performance to support faster monitoring and decision-making.

On the regulatory side, Commissioner Mendoza cited the streamlined requirements for Certificates of Tax Exemption covering socialized and economic housing projects; the clarification on the tax treatment of cross-border services; the clarified implementation of tax incentives for education partnerships; the updated list of VAT-exempt medicines; the temporary suspension of excise taxes on LPG and kerosene; and the signing of the Simplified and Streamlined Guidelines and Procedures in the Closure and/or Cancellation of Business Registration.

“Because modernization is not only about digital systems. It also requires clearer rules, simpler procedures, and more responsive administration,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

The dialogue also featured a roundtable discussion and open forum with Deputy Commissioners Larry M. Barcelo, Ma. Rosario Charo G. Enriquez-Curiba, and Marissa O. Cabreros, together with AmCham officers, business leaders, and private sector representatives. Discussions focused on audit reforms, digitalization initiatives, taxpayer services, ease-of-doing-business measures, and the phased implementation of the Taxpayer Portal.

Commissioner Mendoza emphasized that reforms must become embedded within the institution to ensure continuity and long-term impact.

“For reforms to last, they must be institutionalized—not dependent on one person, but built into policies, digital workflows, standardized processes, and performance monitoring mechanisms. The goal is for these reforms to become part of the institution itself,” he said.

Commissioner Mendoza urged AmCham and the private sector to continue working with the Bureau as reforms move forward.

“The BIR cannot do this work alone. Lasting reform in tax administration requires the continued engagement of taxpayers, businesses, professional groups, and partners such as AmCham,” he said.

“We need your support, your feedback, and your constructive criticism to help us test these reforms against real business experience and carry these reforms forward.”
