BIR suspends all audit operations

Business World Philippines

November 25, 2025

THE Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has ordered the immediate suspension of its audit operations, after complaints over the misuse of letters of authority (LOA).

- - Aubrey Rose A. Inosante and A.H.Halili

“I have ordered the immediate suspension of all field audits and other related operations, including the issuance of Letters of Authority (LOAs) and Mission Orders (MOs), effective immediately, in accordance with Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 107-2025,” BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza said in a statement.

“No LOA or MO shall be created, printed, signed, or served during the suspension period,” he added.

Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go in a separate statement said all field audits were suspended “in response to the concerns raised by the taxpayers regarding the issuance of Letters of Authority and Mission Orders.”

The LOA allows revenue officers to open an investigation into a taxpayer's liabilities, and is required before any audit can proceed.

“We hear the people. We hear your concerns and are immediately acting on them. The people deserve better,” Mr. Go said.

“The Department of Finance is committed to protecting our taxpayers from potential abuse through a comprehensive review of our existing policies and procedures,” he added.
