The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), under Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza, has released the new BIR Audit Program, further institutionalizing its audit reforms under a uniform nationwide audit framework for risk-based taxpayer selection, standardized audit procedures, and stronger accountability.

Under Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 22-2026, signed by Mendoza and issued on August 24, 2026, the BIR consolidated its previous audit programs and built on the reforms introduced under RMO No. 1-2026 earlier this year, establishing uniform policies, guidelines, and procedures for tax audits across investigating offices nationwide.

“This new BIR Audit Program strengthens both sides of the process—fairness for taxpayers and accountability within the BIR. Audits must follow clear rules and proper procedures, and our revenue officers must be able to support the assessments they issue with facts and law,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

For taxpayers, the new BIR Audit Program reinforces the Single-Instance Audit Framework, generally limiting audit authority to one electronic Letter of Authority per taxpayer per taxable year, subject to specified exceptions. Audits are also limited to the tax types and taxable period covered by the authority issued.

For Priority Cases, taxpayers are selected through system-assisted, risk-based processes using verifiable data. To reduce discretion, taxpayer identities are kept anonymized during selection and assignment, as far as practicable, while workload and eligibility controls govern case distribution.

The Program also provides separate rules for Mandatory Cases and institutionalizes the Revalida or “Audit of Auditors,” under which audit reports and assessments may undergo technical and quality review to determine whether findings are supported by facts and law and whether due process was observed.

Revenue officers and officials must follow prescribed audit procedures, timelines, documentation, and monitoring requirements. Unauthorized audits, improper case classification, unjustified delays, and other violations may result in administrative sanctions and other liabilities under existing laws and rules.

The strengthened audit framework advances the BIR DARES agenda on Audit Reform and Accountability and Digital and Data Transformation. It also supports the Bureau’s broader taxpayer-centric approach by using data and clearer controls to focus audit resources on higher-risk cases while strengthening safeguards for taxpayers.

The reforms support President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s direction to restore trust in government and improve public service, and Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go’s drive to improve the ease of doing business by making government processes more predictable and reducing unnecessary uncertainty for taxpayers and investors.

“When we began our comprehensive audit reforms at the start of the year, we committed to clearer rules, stronger safeguards, and greater accountability in the conduct of audits. This new BIR Audit Program delivers on that commitment and advances our taxpayer-centric approach to tax administration. Fair treatment of taxpayers and firm enforcement of the tax laws have to go together. A credible audit system requires both,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) joined the US-ASEAN Business Council’s (USABC) 2026 Philippines Business Mission on August 20, 2026, which brought together a delegation representing 35 U.S. companies for engagements with Philippine government officials.

Representing the BIR were Deputy Commissioners Larry M. Barcelo and Marissa O. Cabreros, together with Assistant Commissioner Mariza R. Uy, who joined discussions with U.S. business representatives on their experiences and priorities in doing business in the Philippines.

The discussion provided an opportunity for the Philippine government and the US private sector to exchange views on how regulations and government processes can better support businesses, encourage investment, and contribute to sustainable economic growth.

For the BIR, the engagement provided an opportunity to hear directly from the business community on issues relevant to tax administration and business operations, supporting continuing efforts to improve tax processes and taxpayer service.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza announced that the Bureau of Internal Revenue is preparing the issuance that will remove the Value-Added Tax (VAT) on the allowable system loss charge in electricity bills, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to review and clarify tax rules that can provide immediate relief to consumers.

The BIR will issue the corresponding Revenue Memorandum Circular after the lapse of fifteen (15) days from the publication of Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) Resolution No. 26, Series of 2026, which classifies the system loss charge as a government-mandated pass-through cost.

“As Finance Secretary Frederick Go has consistently guided us, our reforms should deliver results that people can immediately feel. When there is a clear basis under the law to provide tax relief, we should act on it. We are preparing the BIR issuance now so that after the required period has lapsed, we can immediately implement the VAT removal and pass the benefit on to electricity consumers,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

Under ERC Resolution No. 26, Series of 2026, the allowable system loss charge is treated as a cost recovered through electricity bills rather than income earned by generation companies, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), and distribution utilities.

“In simple terms, consumers should not be paying VAT on electricity that never actually reaches their homes or businesses. A pass-through charge is a cost collected from consumers and passed on to the proper recipient. Removing VAT from that charge means a lower amount will be passed on to electricity consumers,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

The forthcoming issuance builds on earlier BIR action clarifying the tax treatment of government-mandated electricity charges. Under RMC No. 60-2026 released in June, the BIR clarified that the Lifeline Subsidy, Green Energy Auction Allowance, and other specified government-mandated charges are not subject to output VAT and related creditable withholding taxes.

“We will continue reviewing our tax rules for areas where their proper application can provide practical relief to taxpayers. Where the law allows it, we want that relief to be clear, immediate, and felt by our people,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza led the discussion with Australian Ambassador H.E. Marc Innes-Brown on August 26, 2026, on potential areas of cooperation under Australia’s Promoting Growth, Resilience, Economic Stability and Sustainability in the Philippines (PROGRESS) program.

The discussion builds on the Subsidiary Arrangement for PROGRESS signed by the Australian Government and the Department of Finance (DOF) on March 25, 2026, marking a key step in the implementation of Australia’s A$45-million inclusive economic growth program for the Philippines.

PROGRESS is Australia’s flagship program aimed at promoting inclusive economic growth in the Philippines and supporting the Philippine Development Plan 2023–2028. It seeks to strengthen the business-enabling environment and economic management while supporting investment, trade, climate resilience, economic security, and priority sectors.

The program will be implemented in coordination with DOF, alongside the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev), and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), with the BIR identified as a key agency under DOF in advancing the initiative.

Also present during the meeting were BIR Deputy Commissioner Marissa O. Cabreros (Strategic Reforms Group), OIC-Assistant Commissioner Eunisa R. Castillo (Project Management and Implementation Service), and OIC-HREA Grace T. Dizon (Planning and Management Service). Ambassador Innes-Brown was accompanied by Daniel Simson, First Secretary (Economic) of the Australian Embassy in the Philippines.
