The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) started accepting applications from heirs who have to pay for the estate tax dues accumulated by their deceased loved ones. The issuance provides taxpayers with an estate tax amnesty program that gives reasonable tax relief to the outstanding liabilities of heirs from the inheritance of the decedent’s estate.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) released its latest issuance for heirs of decedents with outstanding estate tax liabilities on May 29, 2019. Under the latest regulations, the BIR will impose a 6% estate tax amnesty rate for the decedent’s total net taxable estate at the time of their deaths without any penalties.
