The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has opened a one-time tax abatement program for micro taxpayers, offering micro businesses and stop-filers an opportunity to resolve outstanding tax liabilities, clean up their records, and start with a clean slate.
Through Revenue Regulations No. 4-2026 issued on June 22, 2026, the BIR prescribes the guidelines and procedures for the availment of a one-time abatement of taxes and/or penalties for qualified micro taxpayers with delinquent accounts, assessments, and open stop-filer cases. Qualified applicants may avail of the program until December 31, 2026.
The program covers micro taxpayers whose gross sales for the year do not exceed Three Million Pesos (P3,000,000) and whose covered total basic tax liabilities and/or penalties do not exceed Eighty Thousand Pesos (P80,000) for a taxable year. Eligible cases include delinquent accounts and assessments, whether preliminary or final and whether disputed or not, as well as open stop-filer cases, including those involving taxpayers who have already ceased business operations. Covered liabilities must pertain to cases existing as of December 31, 2025.
Encouraging qualified taxpayers to take advantage of the opportunity, Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said the measure supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.βs directive to ease compliance and make government services more accessible for the transacting public.
βThis is an opportunity to start with a clean slate. If you are a micro taxpayer with old tax obligations, delinquent accounts, assessments, or stop-filer cases, I encourage you to avail of this program. It is meant to help you settle past obligations without a heavy financial burden, update your records, and move forward as a compliant taxpayer,β Commissioner Mendoza said.
Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go welcomed the initiative as part of the administrationβs continuing Ease of Doing Business reforms.
βWe aim to create a more taxpayer-friendly and business-friendly environment while helping micro businesses resolve lingering tax issues and maintain good compliance practices. By helping micro taxpayers resolve old liabilities and update their records, we are removing barriers to compliance and encouraging greater participation in the formal economy,β Secretary Go said.
The Revenue Regulations complement the earlier-issued Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 47-2026, which prescribed simplified and streamlined guidelines and procedures for the closure and cancellation of business registration with the BIR, under which tax clearances may be issued in as fast as three days for qualified cases.
βMany micro taxpayers have already stopped operating but continue to carry unresolved tax obligations or inactive registrations. We have already simplified the process of properly closing a business, and this one-time abatement program complements it by easing the financial burden of settling old tax liabilities for our micro taxpayers. Together, these reforms make it easier to close lingering cases, put their records in order, and move forward,β Mendoza said.
Under the regulations, qualified taxpayers must file an application for abatement with the Revenue District Office having jurisdiction over them and pay a one-time abatement fee of Five Thousand Pesos (P5,000) for each approved application. Upon compliance with the requirements, the concerned Revenue District Office shall issue a Certificate of Availment evidencing that the taxpayer availed of the program and that the covered case has been closed.
By helping taxpayers regularize their records, resolve dormant cases, and close lingering obligations, the Bureau aims to strengthen voluntary compliance and maintain cleaner, more accurate taxpayer records.
