The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended the deadline for the filing of tax returns, payments of taxes and submission of required documents in Cebu after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the province on Tuesday night.
The BIR said the deadline extension covers all statutory tax obligations falling within this month, to provide taxpayers sufficient time to comply.
Submission of reports, attachments and other documents mandated by the tax agency under its existing revenue issuances is also extended.
The extension also applies to consolidated return of all transactions based on the reconciled data of stockbrokers from Sept. 16 to 30, as well as submission of engagement letters, renewals or subsequent agreements for financial audit.
Submission of all transcript sheets of official registry books used by dealers, manufacturers and importers of alcohol, tobacco, petroleum products, non-essential goods, sweetened beverages, mineral products and automobiles is also extended.
Revenue district offices covered by the deadline extension are the cities of Mandaue, Cebu, including the north and south areas, and Talisay as well as the large taxpayers’ division of Cebu.
The extension also applies to the filing of excise tax returns for cosmetic procedures with a monthly summary of procedures performed, as well as monthly remittance of value-added tax.
