Are you planning to close or cancel your business registration soon?

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 47-2026, prescribing simplified and streamlined guidelines and procedures for the closure and/or cancellation of business registration with the BIR.

Key points from the Circular include:

• Simplified Filing Options – Applications may be filed electronically or manually with the concerned Revenue District Office (RDO)
• Defined Documentary Requirements – The Circular specifies the required documents for closure and/or cancellation applications
• Final Tax Compliance Requirement – Taxpayers must file applicable final or short-period tax returns and pay corresponding taxes due
• Registration Status Update – Upon submission of complete documentary requirements, registered form types may be placed under “deregistered” status to prevent generation of open cases
• Tax Clearance Rules – Processing timelines and audit rules vary depending on taxpayer classification, outstanding liabilities, and audit status

This matters because taxpayers who cease business operations without properly applying for closure and/or cancellation with the BIR may remain liable for tax obligations, return filing requirements, and applicable penalties until the process is completed.
