In relation to that, the taxpayers may also file and pay the corresponding taxes to any Authorized Agent Banks (AAB) that is near to their location or to any Revenue Collection Officer under the Revenue District Office.
Further, BIR also released the RMC No. 30-2020 to make clarifications and address concerns regarding the extension of deadlines for the filing of 2019 Income Tax Returns and other various returns, as well as the payment of taxes.
