MANILA, Philippines — The filing for the income tax return (ITR) for the year 2025 has been extended to next month, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said. 

In a social media post, Marcos announced the extension for the filing of ITR on May 15, coming from the April 15 deadline. 

“Pinalawig natin ang deadline ng filing ng 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns mula April 15 hanggang May 15, 2026. Mas may oras ang bawat taxpayer na makapag-file nang maayos, kasama ang lahat ng kailangang dokumento, at walang ipapataw na penalties,” Marcos said. 

(We have extended the deadline for filing 2025 Annual Income Tax Returns from April 15 to May 15, 2026. This gives every taxpayer more time to file properly, including all necessary documents, without any imposed penalties.)

The ITR may be filed and paid through BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) electronic platforms or authorized agent banks, according to Marcos. 

The annual ITR is generally filed on or before April 15 of each year, covering income from the preceding calendar year.

The return is a document filed with the BIR to report gross income, deductions and tax due for the calendar year.
