BIR extends Cebu tax filing deadlines after deadly quake
MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended until the end of October the deadlines for tax filings, payments and submissions for taxpayers in Cebu.
The announcement followed last week’s 6.9-magnitude earthquake that left at least 70 dead and more than 200 injured and caused destruction across the province.
Under Revenue Memorandum Circular 88-2025, Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. said the extension covers all taxpayers and BIR personnel under the following revenue district offices:
- 80, Mandaue City
- 81, Cebu City North
- 82, Cebu City South
- 83, Talisay City
- 23, Large Taxpayers Division – Cebu
These include their authorized agent banks.
All deadlines falling within October 2025 will now be moved to October 31.
“This extension allows our taxpayers sufficient time to comply with their tax obligations without adding to the burdens caused by the calamity,” Lumagui said.
“This reaffirms our commitment to responsive, compassionate, and excellent taxpayer service, especially during times of crisis,” he added.
