Ready ka na ba sa New Era ng BIR Audits? 🤔

Under RMO 1-2026, audits are no longer random. Mas risk-based at data-driven na, at mas binabantayan ang consistency ng records at tax filings. 😅

Hindi na sapat ang “nakapag-file naman.” 👀

Even small mismatches or incomplete records can trigger BIR assessments:
☝ Mali o hindi tugmang figures
☝ Kulang na supporting documents
☝ Sloppy reconciliation before finalizing your AFS
☝ Hindi organisadong records

Join our seminar! 👈

Attention Business Owners: Tax Audits are Back! 😱

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has lifted the suspension of tax audits and field operations under RMC No. 107-2025. Audits will now resume under new and improved rules in RMO No. 001-2026.

What changed? 🤔
👉 Clear audit authority - Every audit notice (eLA, MO, TVN) now clearly states its purpose and scope.
👉 One audit per taxpayer per year – Except for fraud cases, only one comprehensive audit per year to reduce overlapping audits.
👉 Risk-based, system-driven selection – Taxpayers are selected using data and clear risk indicators.
👉 Streamlined audit units – VAT Audit Sections and special task forces were rationalized; audits now handled by regular offices.
👉 Fair and proper assessments – All assessments require proper documentation, legal basis, and standardized checklists.
👉 Taxpayer-friendly audit options – Large volumes of records can be examined at your office, BIR office, or other practical locations.

Yes, audit resumption can feel stressful. 🥲 Babalik na ang LOAs at audits sa BIR, pero hindi na ito basta “business as usual.” ☝ May mas malinaw na rules at safeguards para protektado ang taxpayer rights. 😉👌

RMC No. 04-2026

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued a new circular to clarify existing policies on the registration of Permanently Bound Loose-Leaf Books of Accounts and Computerized Books of Accounts, and to announce the extension of registration deadlines due to intermittent technical issues affecting the ORUS.

I. Mandatory Registration Through ORUS

The registration of Permanently Bound Loose-Leaf Books of Accounts and Computerized Books of Accounts shall be strictly and mandatorily completed online through ORUS within the prescribed deadlines, unless an extension is granted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue or his duly authorized representative, upon request of the taxpayer filed before the lapse of the original period. After successful registration via ORUS, a QR Code stamp shall be generated, which can be validated online.

1. For Permanently Bound Loose-Leaf Books of Accounts, the QR Code shall be affixed to the first page of the bound books.
2. For Computerized Books of Accounts, the QR Code shall be printed and kept for record purposes.

II. Мanual Registration; Exceptional Cases

In cases of system downtime or technical errors that prevent online registration through ORUS, taxpayers may be allowed to submit their application for registration manually (for stamping) at the RDO of the Head Office or Branch Office where the taxpayer's TIN or Branch TIN is registered. Manual registration shall be accepted only upon compliance with any of the following conditions:

1. An official advisory on ORUS system unavailability has been issued; or
2. A screenshot of the error message encountered during the online registration process is presented.

III. Extension of Registration Deadlines

Due to intermittent log-in connectivity issues experienced by ORUS arising from ongoing technical concerns, the deadlines for registration are indicated in the image;
