Tax deadlines extended in quake-hit Mindanao until June 30

BIR moves filing and payment schedules, waives penalties under new circular.

Businesses in quake-affected parts of Mindanao get more breathing room on tax deadlines, with key filing and payment schedules moved to June 30 as recovery efforts continue.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 62-2026, resetting deadlines that fall between June 8 and June 29, 2026. All covered filings, payments, and document submissions are now due on June 30, applying to taxpayers under Revenue District Office General Santos City and Sarangani (RDO110) and South Cotabato (RDO111).

The adjustment covers both individuals and businesses in the affected areas, where disruptions from the quake have affected day-to-day operations and made compliance more difficult. Taxpayers who complete requirements within the extended period will not be charged penalties, surcharges, or interest under the circular.

The move gives households, enterprises, and local government units additional space to manage recovery work while still meeting statutory obligations, easing pressure on compliance schedules during a difficult stretch.

In line with this, the BIR also directed concerned revenue offices in the affected areas to conduct facility checks and confirm operational readiness before resuming normal transactions, ensuring frontline services can safely restart once conditions allow.

The policy adds a temporary buffer for businesses in parts of Mindanao still working through post-quake disruptions, helping them keep filings and payments on track without incurring additional costs.
