The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 84-2026, providing clarifications on the implementation of Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 4-2026, which prescribes the guidelines and procedures for the availment of the One-Time Abatement of Taxes and/or Penalties for Micro Taxpayers.
The Circular adopts a Question-and-Answer format to address common concerns regarding taxpayer qualification, documentary requirements, filing procedures, payment of the one-time abatement fee, covered tax liabilities and penalties, application timelines, and other implementation issues. It also provides illustrative examples to guide taxpayers in determining their eligibility under the program.
Among the clarifications, the Circular explains that taxpayers may verify their classification as a Micro Taxpayer through the BIR Online Registration and Update System (ORUS) or by coordinating with their respective Revenue District Offices. It likewise clarifies that only qualified cases existing as of December 31, 2025, and meeting the requirements under RR No. 4-2026, are covered by the program.
The Circular further explains the treatment of pending compromise and abatement applications, one-time transactions, open case penalties, multiple taxable years, partial payments, and other situations that may arise in the implementation of the One-Time Abatement Program. It also outlines the grounds for denial of applications and clarifies the significance of the Certificate of Availment issued to qualified applicants.
Taxpayers are encouraged to read RMC No. 84-2026 to better understand the requirements and procedures for availing of the One-Time Abatement Program for Micro Taxpayers.
