The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) collected a total of P2.003 trillion from January to July 2026, surpassing the P1.990 trillion goal for the period by P13.53 billion or 0.68%.

The seven-month collection was also P102.60 billion higher than the same period last year, representing a 5.4% year-on-year growth.

Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said the BIR has already collected around 60% of its full-year collection target for 2026, reflecting improving taxpayer compliance and the sustained collection efforts of the Revenue Regions, Revenue District Offices, and the Large Taxpayers Service.

“We remain guided by the President’s directive to make government services more accessible to taxpayers, and by Secretary Frederick Go’s direction to make tax administration fairer and more efficient for businesses and investors,” he added.

For the month of July alone, BIR gross collections reached P358.44 billion, exceeding the P336.07 billion monthly target by P22.37 billion, or 6.66%. July collections were also P19.41 billion higher than the same month last year, posting 5.73% year-on-year growth.

“These results show that better taxpayer service, clearer rules, and effective enforcement can support stronger compliance and collection,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

Under its five-point reform agenda, BIR DARES, the Bureau continues to simplify tax rules and processes, expand digital services, improve taxpayer assistance, strengthen audit safeguards, and enforce tax laws against deliberate noncompliance. These reforms form part of the Bureau’s broader effort to improve compliance while protecting the government’s revenue base.

“We will continue helping taxpayers comply correctly and on time, while making sure that taxes properly due are collected fairly and efficiently,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

𝐅𝐀𝐐 #𝟐: 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬 ₱𝟖𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐤𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞. 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐧𝐚 𝐛𝐚 𝐚𝐤𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝?

✅ Hindi naman agad.

Sa pag-compute ng ₱80,000 threshold, hindi basta total amount sa assessment ang tinitingnan.

Generally, ang isinasama sa threshold ay ang:
𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐚𝐱 + 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬

Samantalang ang interest at surcharge na 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲/𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐚𝐱 ay hindi kasama sa pag-compute ng ₱80,000 threshold. Kapag qualified ang basic tax liability, ang corresponding interest at surcharge ay maaari ring ma-abate 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥.

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐰𝐚:
Basic Tax: ₱60,000
Compromise Penalty: ₱15,000
Surcharge: ₱15,000
Interest: ₱24,000
𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: ₱𝟏𝟏𝟒,𝟎𝟎𝟎

Para sa threshold, ₱75,000 lamang ang considered—₱60,000 basic tax + ₱15,000 compromise penalty.

Dahil hindi lalampas sa ₱80,000 ang amount considered for qualification, maaaring maging qualified ang taxpayer kahit ₱114,000 ang kabuuang liability. Upon payment of the required abatement fee and approval of the application, pati ang related interest at surcharge ay maaaring ma-cancel.

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭: Ang ₱80,000 threshold ay applied sa 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. Hindi puwedeng piliin lang ang isang tax type para mapababa ang amount.

In line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. during his 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) to expand access to quality healthcare through VAT-exempt medicines, Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza reaffirmed the Bureau's commitment to faithfully implement tax laws and policies that deliver meaningful relief to Filipino families.

The issuance of Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 87-2026 updates the list of VAT-exempt medicines endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the TRAIN Law and the CREATE Act, adding 14 medicines to bring the total number of VAT-exempt medicines to 2,277. The updated list further strengthens the government's efforts to make essential medicines more affordable and accessible to Filipinos.

As Commissioner Mendoza emphasized, the BIR remains committed to implementing responsive tax policies that uphold public welfare while advancing the Administration's vision of a healthier and more resilient Philippines.
