The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) recorded double-digit revenue growth in September 2026, with gross collections reaching P203.581 billion, an increase of P20.056 billion or 10.93% compared with the same month last year, based on preliminary data as of October 13, 2026.
Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza attributed the strong September performance largely to voluntary tax compliance and proactive taxpayer assistance initiatives conducted by the BIR's Revenue Regions, Large Taxpayers Service, and support units.
โOur taxpayers are doing their part, and our revenuers are doing theirs. By reaching out and helping taxpayers comply correctly and on time, we are showing that good taxpayer service and stronger revenue collections go hand in hand,โ Commissioner Mendoza said.
For the first nine months of 2026, the BIR collected P2.465 trillion in gross revenues, an increase of P130.372 billion or 5.58% compared with the same period in 2025.
Commissioner Mendoza pointed to reforms under the BIR DARES agenda that have made tax compliance more convenient, including the rollout of the Taxpayer Portal. These were complemented by nationwide BIR C.H.A.T. (Counsel, Help, Assist Taxpayers) activities that brought direct assistance to businesses and communities.
Commissioner Mendoza said these initiatives support President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to bring government services closer to the people and Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go's push for a more business-friendly environment. He emphasized that the Bureau's reforms will continue to focus on making tax compliance more accessible, efficient, and responsive to taxpayers' needs.
