The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has rolled out the Enhanced Accounts Receivable Management System (eARMS) nationwide, a new digital platform designed to improve tracking and management of delinquent tax accounts, ensure more accurate records of outstanding tax liabilities, and support more efficient revenue collection.

The rollout took effect on September 21, 2026, pursuant to a BIR Memorandum dated September 14, 2026. The enhanced system replaces the previous Accounts Receivable Management System (ARMS) under the Bureau's DARES reform agenda, particularly its priorities on Digital and Data Transformation and Revenue Collection and Base Protection.

“Accurate and reliable records are essential to effective revenue collection. Through eARMS, we can better monitor outstanding tax liabilities, take timely collection action, and help taxpayers verify and settle their obligations with less administrative difficulty. We want our digital reforms to deliver measurable improvements in our operations and in the services we provide to taxpayers,” Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said.

The new web-based platform provides centralized tracking and management of Accounts Receivable and Delinquent Accounts (AR/DA), including records relating to the seizure, sale, and forfeiture of properties. It is designed to enhance data integrity, system reliability, and account monitoring across BIR offices.

For taxpayers with outstanding obligations, more reliable account records are expected to facilitate verification and settlement of liabilities, including the processing of tax clearance applications.

𝗕𝗜𝗥 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦, 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗠𝗦

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued three complementary revenue issuances updating the guidelines for tax credit and refund claims for excess or unutilized creditable withholding taxes (CWT) on income and taxes erroneously or illegally received or collected, or penalties imposed without authority. The issuances clarify where taxpayers should file their applications and establish the corresponding processing, review, and approval responsibilities of BIR offices.

Published on September 29, 2026, the three issuances—Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) Nos. 102-2026 and 103-2026 and Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 25-2026—amend existing procedures governing tax credit and refund applications.

“Taxpayers claiming a refund should not have to figure out which BIR office will accept their application, who is responsible for acting on it, or how long their claims will take to be processed. These amendments establish definite timelines and clear responsibilities within the Bureau to ensure that refund claims for unutilized creditable withholding taxes and erroneously/illegally collected taxes or penalties are handled consistently and in accordance with the law,” BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said.

RMC No. 102-2026 updates the guidelines for claims involving excess or unutilized creditable withholding taxes (CWT) on income. It clarifies filing and documentary requirements, including the applicable processing periods for regular refund applications and claims involving dissolution or cessation of business. For regular applications, the 180-day processing period begins upon submission of the application and complete supporting documents. At the same time, claims involving dissolution or cessation of business are subject to a special two-year processing period under Section 76(C) of the Tax Code, as amended.

RMC No. 103-2026 clarifies the proper filing offices for claims involving taxes erroneously or illegally received or collected, or penalties imposed without authority. Claims involving Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the sale of real property classified as a capital asset, and the related Documentary Stamp Tax (DST), must be filed with the Revenue District Office (RDO) having jurisdiction over the property's location. Other covered claims must be filed with the appropriate RDO, Large Taxpayers Audit Division (LTAD), or Large Taxpayers Division (LTD) having jurisdiction over the taxpayer-claimant.

Complementing this circular, RMO No. 25-2026 establishes the corresponding processing, review, and approval responsibilities of BIR offices, regardless of the amount claimed. Designated Revenue Officers shall receive applications and check the completeness of documentary requirements. The Assessment Division shall review claims processed by RDOs, and the Regional Director shall approve them, while the concerned Head Revenue Executive Assistant of the Large Taxpayers Service (LTS) shall review claims processed by the LTAD or LTD, and the Assistant Commissioner of the LTS shall approve them.

The updated guidelines further support the Bureau's efforts to improve refund administration through clearer filing procedures and defined responsibilities for handling taxpayer claims.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has updated its Offline eBIRForms Package to make it easier for qualified micro taxpayers to avail of the One-Time Abatement Program for Micro Taxpayers.

Under Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 104-2026, the BIR announced the availability of Offline eBIRForms Package Version 7.9.6.2, which includes new ATC codes for individual and corporate micro taxpayers under the program and a dedicated Tax Type Code for Micro Taxpayer Abatement in BIR Form No. 0605.

Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza encouraged qualified micro taxpayers to take advantage of the program and use the updated eBIRForms package to facilitate their availment.

“We encourage qualified micro taxpayers to take advantage of the One-Time Abatement Program for Micro Taxpayers before the December 31, 2026 deadline. With the updated eBIRForms package, we are making the process easier and more convenient so taxpayers can settle their covered liabilities and return to regular compliance,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

Under the program, qualified micro taxpayers with covered total basic tax liabilities and/or penalties not exceeding P80,000 for a taxable year may avail of abatement by paying an abatement fee of P5,000 per taxable year, subject to the requirements under Revenue Regulations No. 4-2026.

Offline eBIRForms Package Version 7.9.6.2 also includes system corrections for selected BIR forms. Taxpayers may download the latest Offline eBIRForms Package through the BIR website at www.bir.gov.ph.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended until October 31, 2026 the period for online sellers, online merchants, digital platform operators, and other covered taxpayers to comply with the requirement to display their BIR Registration Seal Badge on their websites, e-commerce or e-marketplace pages, social media accounts, and other digital platforms.

The extension is provided under Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 99-2026, which reiterates the requirement under Section 5(H) of Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 7-2024 and Section 7 of RR No. 15-2024. The requirement applies to online sellers, merchants, and persons engaged in the sale of goods or services through digital or electronic platforms, including those with an online business presence.

The extension is intended to give covered taxpayers sufficient time to secure and properly display their BIR Registration Seal Badge as proof of registration. The Seal Badge must be prominently displayed on their websites, e-commerce or marketplace pages, social media pages, and other applicable digital platforms.

“We are giving online sellers and other covered taxpayers additional time to comply properly with the Registration Seal Badge requirement. The Seal Badge is meant to make registration more transparent and easier for consumers to verify, so we encourage all concerned taxpayers to use the extended period and complete the requirement by October 31,” BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said.

Covered taxpayers who have not yet displayed the BIR Registration Seal Badge may comply until October 31, 2026, without the imposition of penalties arising solely from the non-display of the Seal Badge during the extended compliance period.

The BIR emphasized that the Registration Seal Badge serves as a visible indication that an online seller or merchant is registered with the Bureau. Its display also supports transparency and helps taxpayers and consumers verify the registration status of businesses operating through digital platforms.
