The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) reminds taxpayers that the submission for Income Tax Return (ITR) is open until April 15, 2026 (Wednesday).

The ITR is a document that reflects the total income of an individual or business and the corresponding tax that must be paid. It also includes income from the salary, business, properties, and profession.

BIR Head Revenue Executive Assistant of Excise Large Taxpayer Service Atty. Dondanon Galera confirmed this, saying: “Huwag po nating kalimutang mag-file ng Income Tax Return at magbayad ng kaukulang buwis on or before April 15,” 

[“Let us not forget to file our Income Tax Return and pay the corresponding tax on or before April 15.”]

He also mentioned that it is better and safer to file on time to avoid penalties.

The Bureau reminds taxpayers that the tax is a huge contribution to fund government programs, particularly in the sectors of infrastructure, education, and health.
