The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended the deadline for filing the 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns (ITR), including tax payments and submission of required attachments, until May 15, 2026.

In Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 30-2026, the agency said the extension aims to give taxpayers more time to comply with their obligations. BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin Mendoza noted that the move follows the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to ease tax compliance amid the ongoing impact of the energy crisis.

Taxpayers may file their returns through the BIR’s electronic filing platforms and settle payments via available online channels. Manual filing and payment are also allowed through Authorized Agent Banks nationwide.

The extension is expected to help individuals and businesses manage compliance more efficiently while coping with current economic pressures.
