BIR extends tax filing deadline due to typhoons

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended tax deadlines to July 31, providing relief to taxpayers affected by Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as the enhanced Southwest Monsoon.

BIR Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr. said the extension applies to tax filings, payments, and submission of required documents in areas hit by the recent severe weather and government work suspensions.

“We understand the challenges that come with severe weather conditions,” Lumagui said.

“Part of our drive for Excellent Taxpayer Service is listening and adjusting to the realities faced by taxpayers,” he added.

“Stay safe, prioritize your families and loved ones. The BIR will be moving the deadline to July 31. For full details, refer to RMC No. 75-2025,” Lumagui said.

The affected areas include Metro Manila and various provinces identified in Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 75-2025, where BIR offices and Authorized Agent Banks were unable to operate due to the storms.

The extension covers all taxpayers and BIR personnel under the specified Revenue District Offices, allowing additional time for compliance without penalties.

If the extended deadline falls on a holiday or non-working day, the next working day will be recognized as the new due date.

The move is part of the agency’s broader commitment to taxpayer support and disaster responsiveness.
