President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has extended the deadline for filing 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns from April 15 to May 15, giving taxpayers more time to comply without penalties.
In a Facebook post, Marcos Jr. said the extension allows filers to complete requirements properly and submit all necessary documents.
“Pinalawig natin ang deadline ng filing ng 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns mula April 15 hanggang May 15, 2026. Mas may oras ang bawat taxpayer na makapag-file nang maayos, kasama ang lahat ng kailangang dokumento, at walang ipapataw na penalties,” the President said.
He added the move aims to ease the burden on Filipinos amid rising fuel prices.
“Ginawa natin ito para mas magaan ang pagbabayad ng bawat Pilipino, lalo na sa panahong ramdam ang pagtaas ng presyo ng langis,” he said.
Taxpayers may file through BIR electronic platforms or authorized agent banks, as the government continues efforts to help ease daily financial pressures.IMT
