Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. said Friday he will release an order extending the submission, filing, and/or payment of taxes because of the inclement weather suffered by taxpayers until July 31, 2024.
He said the extension was in recognition of the hardships suffered by taxpayers as a result of the lack of transportation, electricity, internet service and other basic services following the onslaught of Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon.
Government offices, including that of the BIR, were also closed due to inclement weather. The extension will cover affected areas.
“In this time of need and disaster, the BIR will extend the deadlines of submission, filing and/or payment of specific dues that coincides with Super Typhoon Carina and the southwest monsoon,” he said.
“Excellent taxpayer service not only means the improvement of our services, but also that of adjusting to the realities faced by taxpayers in real-time. Please take care of your families and loved ones, we will move the deadline to July 31,” Lumagui said.
The dues that will be moved to July 31, 2024 include the submission of quarterly summary list of sales/purchases/importations by a VAT registered taxpayer-non-eFPS filer for the quarter ending June 30, 2024; and submission of sworn statement of manufacturer’s or importer’s volume of sales of each particular brand of alcohol products, tobacco products and sweetened beverage products for the quarter ending June 30, 2024
