MANILA — The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) announced an extension of the tax filing and payment deadline for taxpayers in the National Capital Region, pushing the original Nov. 16-18 deadline to Nov. 19.
The extension applies to taxpayers under covered revenue district offices and large taxpayer divisions operating in Metro Manila. The decision was made to accommodate disruptions expected from the ASEAN Summit being held in the capital region during the original deadline period.
The BIR Commissioner's office issued the advisory to provide affected taxpayers additional time to complete their filing obligations without penalty. The extension ensures that government activities related to hosting the regional summit will not hinder taxpayers' compliance with tax requirements.
Taxpayers in the NCR are advised to settle their obligations on or before the new deadline to avoid incurring surcharges and penalties. The BIR noted that the extension applies only to the specified revenue district offices and large taxpayer divisions in the region.
