📢 BIR Update: Making Business Closure Easier! 📉

Good news for business owners! The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has officially issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 47-2026, introducing simplified and streamlined guidelines for the closure and cancellation of business registration.

Important Reminder: Don't just stop operating—formally apply for cancellation. Failure to do so means you remain liable for tax filings and potential penalties until the process is officially completed in the BIR database.

True freedom is achieved through unity, cooperation, and respect for others. In cooperatives, it means members working together toward shared goals while practicing tolerance and valuing differences. When people cooperate and support one another, trust is built and collective progress becomes possible. Freedom becomes meaningful when it is expressed through shared responsibility, fairness, and inclusive development.

Knowledge is the foundation of progress. When cooperative members learn new skills, they strengthen not only themselves but also the future of their cooperative and community.

ADVISORY ON THE UTILIZATION OF THE OPTIONAL FUND FOR MEMBER SUPPORT PROGRAMS IN RESPONSE TO ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

This Advisory is in response to numerous inquiries seeking clarity on the use of the optional fund for members’ benefit during this crisis. All cooperatives are hereby reminded that the utilization of the Optional Fund for the benefit of members is already authorized under existing guidelines and issuances of the Authority.

Accordingly, cooperatives may utilize their available Optional Fund to implement programs, projects, and activities that directly support their members in addressing the economic and operational impacts of increased energy costs and conservation measures, subject to the approval and/or confirmation of the General Assembly, and in accordance with their approved policies.

Such utilization may include provision of financial or subsidy assistance to affected members and livelihood support or adjustment measures responsive to energy-related challenges.

Cooperatives are reminded to ensure that all fund utilizations are properly documented, supported by appropriate internal guidelines and compliant with existing accounting, auditing, and reporting standards.

This Advisory is issued for guidance and compliance.
