The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), under the leadership of Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui, Jr., has collected ₱ 1.111 Trillion (net of tax refund) as of April 2025, surpassing its collection target for the period by ₱ 7.045 Billion. Said collection is higher by 14.50% or ₱ 140.695 Billion compared to tax collections for the same period last year.
Said cumulative collection as of April 2025 represents more than 35% collection of the Bureau’s CY 2025 collection target of ₱ 3.232 Trillion, which is higher by 13.36% or ₱ 380.871 Billion than the CY 2024 actual collection.
“With the intensification of the Bureau’s tax enforcement activities, specifically on the campaign against sellers and buyers of fake receipts, and with the continuous streamlining and digitalization of the BIR’s core services, we hope to encourage all non-compliant taxpayers to comply fully with the provisions and requirements of the tax laws so we can attain, and even surpass, our annual collection target this year”, said Commissioner Lumagui.
