The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes the issuance of Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 47-2026 by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which prescribes simplified and streamlined guidelines and procedures for the closure and/or cancellation of business registration with the BIR.

PCCI commended Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza and the BIR for this timely and business-responsive reform. The streamlined documentary requirements, the non-accrual of penalties for non-filing upon submission of complete closure requirements, and the faster release of tax clearances for qualified taxpayers under the Circular are significant steps toward reducing compliance burdens and improving the taxpayer experience.

“𝑷𝑪𝑪𝑰 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝑰𝑹, 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚.

Ferrer said.

This initiative complements the objectives of the Ease of Paying Taxes Act and reinforces the importance of supporting enterprises throughout the entire business life cycle—from business registration and operation to proper closure. For many enterprises, particularly micro and small businesses, a simplified closure process helps prevent the continued accumulation of penalties, unresolved open cases, and administrative difficulties that may affect future business activity.

Yao, PCCI Director for Taxation said.

PCCI also welcomed the provision that micro taxpayers shall not be subject to mandatory audit for closure and/or cancellation of business registration. This measure will help make the closure process faster, more predictable, and more accessible for taxpayers that have already ceased operations, while preserving the Bureau’s authority to determine any outstanding tax liabilities in accordance with the Circular.

PCCI looks forward to continuing its partnership with the BIR through the Partnership with Multi-Sectoral Group (PMSG) and other relevant platforms. We remain committed to supporting reforms that improve the taxpayer experience, strengthen voluntary compliance, and contribute to a more enabling business environment in the country.
