Marcos extends deadline of 2025 annual ITR filing to May 15
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. (PCO)
President Marcos has extended the deadline of filing of 2025 income tax returns (ITR) from April 15 to May 15.
It aims to give taxpayer more time to file their ITR properly without incurring penalties.
"Pinalawig natin ang deadline ng filing ng 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns mula April 15 hanggang May 15, 2026 (We have extended the deadline for filing the 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns from April 15 to May 15, 2026)," Marcos announced on Tuesday, April 14.
"Mas may oras ang bawat taxpayer na makapag-file nang maayos, kasama ang lahat ng kailangang dokumento, at walang ipapataw na penalties (Each taxpayer now has more time to file properly, with all the required documents, and no penalties will be imposed)," Marcos added.
The President said taxpayers may file and pay through electronic platforms of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) or through Authorized Agent Banks.
According to Marcos, he ordered the month-long extension to ease the burden among tax payers as the country reels from the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East.
"Ginawa natin ito para mas magaan ang pagbabayad ng bawat Pilipino, lalo na sa panahong ramdam ang pagtaas ng presyo ng langis (We did this to make it easier for every Filipino to pay taxes, especially at a time when rising oil prices are being felt)," he said.
"Tuloy-tuloy ang ating ginagawa para maibsan ang bigat sa araw-araw na buhay ng ating mga kababayan (We will continue taking steps to ease the burden of our fellow citizens’ daily lives)," the Chief Executive added.
