Corruption sinks tax momentum
Manila Bulletin
|October 25, 2025
Failing to meet the government’s tax-collection target is a possibility for Philippine tax authorities, particularly the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), as it bears the brunt of alleged corruption in flood control funds.
Department of Finance (DOF) Undersecretary Charlito Martin R. Mendoza told reporters on the sidelines of the 4th SGV Tax Symposium that between the BIR and the Bureau of Customs (BOC), the impact of the corruption issue has been felt more by the former.
"Admittedly, because of everything that’s happening, there is an impact on our tax revenues," said Mendoza, who oversees the operations of both the BIR and the BOC, on Thursday, Oct. 23.
While Mendoza affirmed that corruption cases tied to flood control projects "definitely" have an impact on revenue collection, he said the BIR has suffered more from the effects of the issue.
