Skip the lines and pay your BIR taxes via Maya 

PROVIDING CONVENIENT PAYMENT CHANNELS FOR THE TAXPAYING PUBLIC. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) officially launched its partnership with digital financial services leader Maya to allow individual taxpayers to pay taxes on time and wherever they are using the Maya app. Soon, taxpayers can also pay through the BIR website using their mobile number linked to their Maya account via Pay with Maya as well as any credit, debit, and prepaid cards. Present during the launch were BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay (2nd from left), Maya Founder and CEO Orlando Vea (2nd from right), BIR Deputy Commissioner Lanee David (leftmost) and Maya Head of Enterprise Mar Lazaro (rightmost).  

With tax-filing season just around the corner, digital financial services leader Maya is offering Filipinos a new and hassle-free way to pay their taxes using the Maya app and soon also using the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) website. 

By going to the Bills Pay section of the Maya app, individual taxpayers can skip the line and pay their taxes anywhere using only their mobile phones anytime, 24/7. 

Soon, Maya will also be enabling the agency with a capability to accept payments from Maya users using only their mobile numbers through the BIR website, as well as a facility to allow Filipinos to pay taxes using any credit, debit, or prepaid card. 

“We are happy to offer Maya as a new payment channel where individual Filipino taxpayers can easily remit their taxes, no matter where they are in the country,” said BIR Commissioner Caesar Dulay. 

“We are proud to be enabling the BIR with new options for card and wallet payments through Maya. As more Filipinos go digital, the BIR is opening up secure, convenient, and reliable options to the tax-paying public. Now, it’s easier than ever to pay your taxes using only your mobile phone with the help of Maya,” said Orlando Vea, Founder and CEO of Maya. 

Bringing back time, convenience, and even cash 

Aside from bringing convenience and time-saving benefits to many tax-paying Filipinos, the partnership also enables them to earn a cashback when they pay their taxes with Maya–the most rewarding mobile wallet in the Philippines today. 

Account holders who will pay their BIR taxes via Maya on February 15, 16, 22, 23, and 29 are entitled to a one-time P100 cashback if their BIR payment is among the first three unique biller payments made during the promo period. All they have to do is pay at least P1,000 for their tax payment to qualify for the bills payment promo for February.

1. Log in to your Maya account and click on the “Pay Bills” option.
