๐ข BIR UPDATE: Smaller Tax Cases May No Longer Be Priority for Collection
Under Revenue Memorandum Order No. 011-2026, the BIR increased the โCost to Collect Thresholdโ from โฑ20,000 to โฑ80,000.
โ
Before: Cases worth โฑ20k and above may be pursued for collection
โ
Now: Threshold increased to โฑ80k
What does this mean? ๐ค
The BIR is now prioritizing larger tax delinquency cases and reducing resources spent on smaller collectible accounts.
BUT TAKE NOTE โ
This does NOT mean:
โ Taxes below โฑ80k are automatically cancelled
โ Penalties are removed
โ Tax compliance is no longer required
Tax obligations still exist. This update simply helps the BIR focus collection efforts on higher-value cases.
This may affect:
โข Freelancers
โข Self-employed individuals
โข Small businesses
โข Taxpayers with old open cases or assessments
Still best to stay compliant and settle tax issues properly ๐
