    Marcos Administration:

    His most notable program were the “Blue Master Program” and the “Voluntary Tax Compliance Program”. The
    Blue Master Program was made in order to reduce the abuse of both the taxpayers and the BIR personnel. The
    Voluntary Tax Compliance Program was created to encourage professionals in both private and government sectors to
    report their true income and pay the correct amount of tax.

    Aquino Administration:

    After the People’s revolution in February 1986, the “Operation: Walang Lagay” was made in order to promote
    the efficient and honest collection of taxes. The Value-Added-Tax is also one of the structural reforms provided for the
    1986 Tax Reform Program which is used to simplify tax administration and make the tax system more equitable.

    Ramos Administration:

    During the Ramos Administration, the ACTS or Action-Centered Transformation Program was created to align
    the organization (BIR) towards the fulfillment of its vision and mission. It is also during this time that the Tax
    Computerization Project was made in order to establish a modern and computerized Integrated Tax System and Internal
    Administration System.

    Estrada Administration:

    One of the most significant reform measures was the implementatin of the Economic Recovery Assistance
    Payment (ERAP) Program. In order to encourage and educate consumers/taxpayers to demand sales invoices and
    receipts, "Humingi ng Resibo, Manalo ng Libo-Libo" was created. The Large Taxpayers Monitoring System was also
    established to closely monitor the tax compliance of the country's large taxpayers.

    Arroyo Administration:

    Under the Arroyo Administration, the BIR’s thrust was to transform the agency to make it taxpayer-focused.
    Measures to enhance the Bureau's revenue-generating capability were also implemented, the most notable of which
    were the implementation of the Voluntary Assessment Program and Compromise Settlement Program.

    P-Noy Aquino Administration:

    The controversial Sin Tax Reform bill, which seeks to increase excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco products. The
    revenue from the new law, formally known as Republic Act 10351 or the new Sin Tax Reform Law of 2012, will go into
    the construction of clinics and hospitals, in addition to discouraging Filipinos, especially the youth, from smoking and
    drinking.

    Duterte Administration:

    The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) is the first package of the comprehensive tax reform
    program (CTRP) envisioned by President Duterte's administration, which seeks to to correct a number of deficiencies in
    the tax system to make it simpler, fairer, and more efficient.
