resident of the Philippines, under any of the following situations:
Taxpayers who are filing BIR Form 1801 are excluded in the mandatory coverage from using the
eBlRForms (Section 2 of RR No. 9-2016)
The Estate Tax Return (BIR Form 1801) shall be filed within one (1) year from the decedent's death.
In meritorious cases, the Commissioner shall have the authority to grant a reasonable extension not
exceeding thirty (30) days for filing the return.
The return shall be filed with any Authorized Agent Bank (AAB) of the Revenue District Office (RDO)
having jurisdiction over the place of domicile of the decedent at the time of his death. If the decedent
has no legal residence in the Philippines, the return shall be filed with the Office of the Commissioner
(RDO No. 39, South Quezon City).
In case of a non-resident decedent with executor or administrator in the Philippines, the return shall
be filed with the AAB of the RDO where such executor/administrator is registered or is domiciled, if
not yet registered with the BIR.
When the return is filed with an AAB, taxpayer must accomplish and submit BIR-prescribed deposit
slip, which the bank teller shall machine validate as evidence that payment was received by the AAB.
The AAB receiving the tax return shall stamp mark the word “Received’’ on the return and also
machine validate the return as proof of filing the return and payment of the tax by the taxpayer,
respectively. The machine validation shall reflect the date of payment, amount paid and transaction
code, the name of the bank, branch code, teller’s code and teller’s initial. Bank debit memo number
and date should be indicated in the return for taxpayers paying under the bank debit system.
Payments may also be made thru the epayment channels of AABs thru either their online facility,
credit/debit/prepaid cards, and mobile payments.
In case the available cash of the estate is insufficient to pay the total estate tax due, payment by
installment shall be allowed within two (2) years from the statutory date for its payment without civil
penalty and interest upon approved by the concerned BIR Official.
The due date on filing and payment of the return/tax shall depend on the applicable law at the time of
the decedent’s death.
Where the taxes are assessed by reason of negligence, intentional disregard of rules and regulations,
or fraud on the part of the taxpayer, no extension will be granted by the Commissioner.
The application for extension of time to file the estate tax return must be filed with the Revenue
District Officer (RDO) where the estate is required to secure its Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
and file the tax returns of the estate. The application shall be approved by the Commissioner or his
duly authorized representative.
