If you or your family have unsettled estate taxes, now is the time to act. The Estate Tax Amnesty offered by the Philippine government is officially ending on June 14, 2025 — and there will be no more extensions. This is your final opportunity to settle estate obligations with significantly reduced penalties and interest.
💡 What Is Estate Tax Amnesty?
Estate Tax Amnesty is a government program that allows heirs of deceased individuals to settle unpaid estate taxes with much lower financial burden. Instead of paying huge penalties and surcharges, families can pay only the basic estate tax due — no more penalties, interest, or compromise fees.
This applies to estates of decedents who died on or before December 31, 2021, whether the estate was previously filed or not.
🏃♀️ Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Here’s why you need to act before June 14, 2025:
- ✅ No Penalties or Interest: Pay only the basic tax amount.
- ✅ Legal Ownership: Finally transfer land titles and other properties legally to heirs.
- ✅ Peace of Mind: Remove potential legal and financial headaches for your family.
- ✅ No More Extensions: The government has made it clear — this is the final call.
Once the amnesty period lapses, regular estate tax rules will apply again, including high penalties, surcharges, and even legal consequences for failure to settle.
📝 How to Apply
- Prepare documents – Death certificate, title of properties, tax identification numbers (TIN) of heirs, etc.
- Go to your RDO – Visit your BIR Revenue District Office for guidance.
- File and pay – Submit the Estate Tax Amnesty Return (ETAR) and pay the computed tax at an authorized agent bank or through e-payment channels.
