Hello Taxpayers!

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) adopts a 4-day on-site and 1-day work-from-home arrangement effective Monday, March 9, as part of government energy conservation measures amid rising global oil prices.

Under Revenue Memorandum Order No. 007-2026, BIR personnel will report on-site from Monday to Thursday, while work-from-home arrangements will be implemented every Friday.

Frontline services under the Large Taxpayers Service, the Regional Offices, and the Revenue District Offices will remain operational on Fridays, with appropriate staffing arrangements to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of taxpayer services such as taxpayer registration, filing, payment assistance, and inquiries.

This is in line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for government agencies to reduce electricity and fuel consumption by 10% to 20%.

The BIR will also implement additional energy-saving measures across offices, including reduced electricity use, fuel-efficient vehicle operations, and expanded use of digital services.
