Tax Alert No. 23 [Tax Advisory dated 8 May 2026]

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued a Tax Advisory on the electronic filing of any tax returns through eBIRForms Package v7.9.6., advising taxpayers that delays or non-receipt of system generated email confirmation from eBIRForms may be due to any of the following reasons:

1. The recipients email inbox is full or inactive;
2. The email confirmation has been diverted to the Spam or Junk email folder;
3. The company’s firewall policy restricts emails from ebirforms-noreply@bir.gov.ph

In case of non-receipt of system-generated email confirmation from eBIRForms, taxpayers are advised to do any of the following:

• Print a screenshot of the “Submit Successful” pop-up message as proof of filing, in accordance with RMC No. 20-2026 and Bank Bulletin No. 2026-04, together with the printed copy of the filed tax return and proceed with electronic payment via BIR ePay facilities or through Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) for tax returns with tax due; or

Taxpayers who failed to take said screenshot are advised to proceed to electronic payment.

• Proceed to the nearest Revenue District Office e-lounge and seek assistance to electronically file tax returns and pay.

You may access the full version of this Tax Advisory through the BIR website.
