PRESS RELEASE 
03 June 2026
PCCI Calls for balanced approach on proposed P240 immigration fee
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), the largest business organization in the country, today issued a statement on the proposal to impose a ?240 immigration fee on international travelers to fund the Bureau of Immigration’s (BI) modernization program.
PCCI underscored its support for the government’s goal of strengthening border security and upgrading immigration systems, but highlighted the need to carefully consider the timing and impact of new fees on travelers and businesses.
“We recognize the importance of modernizing our immigration systems to ensure safe and efficient travel. At the same time, we encourage government agencies to weigh the economic realities faced by businesses and consumers, including the energy crisis and inflationary pressures,” PCCI President Perry Ferrer said.
The Chamber noted that the Bureau of Immigration already receives budget allocations from the national government and generates revenues from visa processing, alien registration, and emigration clearance fees. PCCI suggested that these existing sources be maximized before introducing new charges.
PCCI emphasized that modernization efforts should be pursued in ways that support tourism and trade recovery, safeguard MSMEs that rely on international visitors and business travel, promote transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, and explore innovative funding mechanisms such as public-private partnerships.
The Chamber also noted that if implemented, the Philippines would be the only ASEAN country to impose such a dedicated immigration modernization fee on all international travelers. In neighboring countries, immigration modernization is treated as a public service, funded through government appropriations, visa fees, or partnerships, not through new levies on passengers.
“Modernization is vital for national security and competitiveness. But immigration services are a public service, and reforms should be funded in ways that do not discourage travel or dampen recovery. We look forward to working with the Bureau of Immigration and other agencies to identify sustainable solutions that balance security needs with economic growth,” Ferrer added.

30 DAYS BEFORE TAKE OFF: 35TH SOUTH LUZON AREA BUSINESS CONFERENCE (SOLABC)

PCCI welcomes BIR's streamlined closure guidelines, strengthening ease of doing business for enterprise
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes the issuance of Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 47-2026 by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which prescribes simplified and streamlined guidelines and procedures for the closure and/or cancellation of business registration with the BIR.
PCCI commended Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza and the BIR for this timely and business-responsive reform. The streamlined documentary requirements, the non-accrual of penalties for non-filing upon submission of complete closure requirements, and the faster release of tax clearances for qualified taxpayers under the Circular are significant steps toward reducing compliance burdens and improving the taxpayer experience.
“PCCI srongly supports this initiative of the BIR, as it directly responds to the needs of the business community. A clear, simplified and timely process for closing business registration gives taxpayers a fair opportunity to properly settle their records and move forward without the unnecessary accumulation of penalties,” PCCI President Perry A. Ferrer said.
This initiative complements the objectives of the Ease of Paying Taxes Act and reinforces the importance of supporting enterprises throughout the entire business life cycle—from business registration and operation to proper closure. For many enterprises, particularly micro and small businesses, a simplified closure process helps prevent the continued accumulation of penalties, unresolved open cases, and administrative difficulties that may affect future business activity.
“This is practical and meaningful reform for taxpayers. By simplifying the closure process and preventing the further accumulation of penalties upon complete submission of requirements, the BIR is helping taxpayers regularize their records while encouraging greater voluntary compliance” Mr. Alfredo M. Yao, PCCI Director for Taxation said.
PCCI also welcomed the provision that micro taxpayers shall not be subject to mandatory audit for closure and/or cancellation of business registration. This measure will help make the closure process faster, more predictable, and more accessible for taxpayers that have already ceased operations, while preserving the Bureau’s authority to determine any outstanding tax liabilities in accordance with the Circular.
“We very much appreciate this development. This is something PCCI has been working on for a long time, especially in light of the countless difficulties faced by MSMEs that were affected during by the COVID-19 pandemic and were no longer able to sustain their businesses. This reform is a big relief for them” Atty. Benedicta “Dick” Du-Baladad, PCCI Chairperson for Taxation, said.
PCCI looks forward to continuing its partnership with the BIR through the Partnership with Multi-Sectoral Group (PMSG) and other relevant platforms. We remain committed to supporting reforms that improve the taxpayer experience, strengthen voluntary compliance, and contribute to a more enabling business environment in the country.
