Tax Alert No. 31 [Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 53-2026 dated 26 May 2026]

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued RMC No. 53-2026 announcing the availability of the Taxpayer Portal and its pilot implementation covering taxpayers registered under the offices/divisions of the BIR's Large Taxpayers Service (LTS).

The Taxpayer Portal is a secured digital platform that provides taxpayers with a single-view online access to their tax information. Through a centralized profile, taxpayers can conveniently check registration details, monitor filed tax returns and payments, and receive automated reminders for filing and payment deadlines. These features reduce the need for manual follow-ups and in-person visits to BIR offices.

In line with this, taxpayers registered under the LTS may enroll in the Taxpayer Portal and utilize the following functionalities:

1. Viewing of taxpayer registration information;
2. Monitoring of status of filed tax returns per Tax Type/Form Type;
3. Tracking of tax payments;
4. Viewing of Account Ledger per Tax Type/Form Type; and
5. Receiving system-generated notifications and tax reminders.

The pilot implementation aims to support the gradual rollout of the system to other types of taxpayers by ensuring its operational readiness prior to wider deployment.

For enrollment, technical issues, or concerns regarding the accuracy of their records, taxpayers are advised to coordinate with their respective Large Taxpayers Office/Division.

The full text of the RMC may be accessed through the BIR website.
