The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Wednesday announced that the deadlines for filing of tax returns and tax payments in Metro Manila due on November 16 to 18, will be extended to November 19 amid the ASEAN Summit and Related Summits 2026.
November 16 to 18 were earlier declared as special non-working days in Metro Manila in connection with the country’s hosting of the event.
“In connection with the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, the deadline of filing of returns and payment of taxes with statutory due dates falling during the said period within the jurisdiction of the following RDOs under the NCR shall be moved to November 19, 2026,” the tax advisory read.
On the other hand, the BIR also granted a nationwide extension to November 13, for taxpayers affected by scheduled system maintenance that temporarily shut down the eBIRForms Offline Package.
The adjustment applies to specified returns and payments originally due on November 10, as well as select transactions with deadlines between November 10 and 12.
“Deadlines for submissions through systems other than eBIRForms shall remain unchanged, unless otherwise expressly extended,” the Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 118-2026. —VAL, GMA News
