Corrections & Updates Policy
Our commitment
TaxCode.ph aims to correct important errors in legal descriptions, tax computations, dates, source references and procedural information when they are verified. A correction report is evaluated against governing sources; not every disagreement demonstrates an error.
A rule may be valid for one tax period and not another. Reports should specify the taxable year, relevant transaction date or filing period when those details matter.
How to report a possible error
Use Contact TaxCode.ph. Provide the article URL, the relevant sentence or calculator result, why it may be wrong, the correct source or reference, and any material date. Do not send TINs, bank records, tax returns, identity documents or another person’s confidential data.
The editorial contact route is not a means of filing a BIR return or protest, requesting government relief, stopping an assessment clock or getting confidential professional advice.
How we evaluate reports
We check the original legal source and whether a correction changes the interpretation, eligibility, amount, filing method or next required action. We also examine whether the reported material applies to the article’s claimed tax year and taxpayer class.
Higher-risk errors affecting filing deadlines, liabilities, notices, enforcement or a material calculator output receive priority in editorial triage. We do not promise a specific reply or completion time unless operational capacity supports it.
Material versus minor changes
A material correction changes a legal conclusion, number, procedure, deadline, exception, source status or substantive output. Where practical, the updated guide should show what changed and when. A minor formatting, spelling or broken-link correction may be made without a formal correction note.
We should not silently rewrite a material claim to conceal an earlier problem. A page’s substantive verification date changes only when the appropriate review really occurs.
Updates, disputes and escalation
Content may be refreshed following tax legislation, a new BIR revenue issuance or form, important case law, or changes to an official administrative process. Where legal questions are unresolved or competing official interpretations exist, the guide should describe that uncertainty.
For urgent personal deadlines or confidential disputes, consult the BIR and an appropriate qualified adviser directly. For our editorial principles, read the Editorial Policy and Source and Citation Policy.
