The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) registered a strong start to 2026, posting PHP 530.055 billion in net collections from January 1 to February 28, 2026.
This preliminary performance surpassed the Bureauโs internal collection goal of PHP 527.775 billion by PHP 2.280 billion, equivalent to 100.43% of the target, net of tax refunds. It also represents a PHP 15.307 billion increase over the PHP 514.748 billion collected during the same period in 2025.
The Bureauโs early 2026 performance shows a 2.97% year-over-year increase in net collections, reflecting steady improvements from intensified tax administration, stronger enforcement efforts, and ongoing measures to boost taxpayer compliance nationwide.
Despite global economic headwinds, the BIR remains optimistic and firmly committed to sustaining revenue growth and meeting its 2026 goals. The Bureau continues to pursue its mandate through a balanced and people-centered approachโraising the revenues needed to support national development while protecting taxpayersโ rights and strengthening stakeholder trust and confidence.
This performance reaffirms the Bureauโs continuing support for the fiscal stability and inclusive growth agenda of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. Under the guidance of Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go, the BIR remains steadfast in advancing fiscal discipline, institutional modernization, and responsive public service for the benefit of the Filipino people.
