BIR orders sweeping review of LOAS, MOS
Manila Bulletin
|December 3, 2025
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) ordered an inventory of all pending Letters of Authority (LOAs) and Mission Orders (MOs) from regional directors, revenue district officers, and heads of audit units for immediate review.
BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza's latest order comes after he temporarily suspended last week the issuance of all field audit-related documents and operations.
The sweeping suspension follows serious allegations from senators and the business community that corrupt revenue examiners have been "weaponizing" these documents-which authorize tax audits and inspections-to allegedly harass taxpayers and solicit bribes.
