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.

Viet Nam - Philippines Business Forum

LOOK: During the BusinessWorld Economic Forum 2026 themed “Advancing the ASEAN Agenda: Turning Regional Vision to Corporate Action,” PCCI Chairman Raymond Jude Aguilar emphasized challenges confronting Philippine MSMEs during the panel entitled “Bringing MSMEs into the Global Marketplace” yesterday May 18 at the Grand Hyatt Manila.
In his remarks, Aguilar underscored the importance of basic digital literacy, particularly for MSMEs with limited digital experience, as a critical driver of business growth. He noted that financial literacy lays the groundwork, complemented by digital capability, export readiness, and branding that can help enterprises enhance competitiveness and access international markets. He likewise affirmed the PCCI’s thrust to champion a holistic capability-building framework that empowers MSMEs to move from survival to growth, competitiveness, and globalization.
In his closing message, he encouraged MSMEs to engage with the PCCI to help make businesses more efficient, expand into global markets, and strengthen their online presence through tools such as SEO and digital solutions that improve operational efficiency.
