The Bureau of Internal Revenue has extended the deadline for filing 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns until May 15, 2026, under Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 030-2026.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has officially extended the deadline for filing 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns (AITR).
From the original deadline of April 15, 2026, taxpayers are now given until May 15, 2026 to file their returns, pay corresponding taxes, and submit required attachments.
The extension is outlined in Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 030-2026, issued on April 14, 2026.
According to the BIR, the extension covers:

The BIR clarified that no surcharges or penalties will be imposed on taxpayers who file and pay on or before May 15, 2026.
This provides relief to individuals and businesses who may need more time to organize documents and complete their filings without incurring additional costs.
The extension follows Executive Order No. 110, s. 2026, which declared a State of National Energy Emergency.
With rising fuel prices affecting transportation and daily expenses, the government aims to ease financial pressure on taxpayers by allowing more flexibility in tax compliance.
Taxpayers may file their returns through:
Payments can also be made through available electronic payment channels.
Despite the extension, taxpayers are encouraged to file early to avoid system congestion and last-minute issues.
Filing ahead of the deadline helps ensure a smoother and more efficient process.
