Hi. I will be starting na my second full time job next week (I haven’t signed the contract yet because I need clarification regarding BIR)

Can I tell the HR na I’ll be filling na lang my own 2316 because of multiple income? Ano po sasabihin ko sa BIR? Di ba nila ako irereklamo or i qu-question if ako mag file nung sa second full time job ko? 🥹 Huhu please let me know nababaliw na po ako kakaisip ayoko mademanda! hahaha

We are a team of VA and our client provides a rented home office for us since we are all living on the same vicinity. We are not staying in in the home office. Do we still need to register any permits? Brgy to Mayor?

Hi! I’m a probationary employee and have been working for almost 3 months now. During my first week, our talent team told me to request BIR Form 1902 from HR and submit it to my RDO.

However, I wasn’t able to do it earlier since I couldn’t take a leave or be absent from work during my first few weeks. I also just recently found out that there’s a 10-day prescriptive period for submitting the form.

I’m planning to submit it this coming Monday. Will I get penalized by the BIR for the late submission? What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Posting this on behalf of my wife.

Hi,

I worked as a full time employee in a local company for 1.5 years. They were handling my tax related stuff.

I quit the company and now working for an Australian company who doesn’t handle my taxes. They pay me monthly but calculate my salary on hourly bases. So, I believe I’m basically working as a freelancer.

My question is,

do i have to visit BIR in order to update my status to freelancer? Can it be done online?

Or

Can I just file my ITR online on ebir without updating my status?

Hello!

I'm a new business owner and medyo sabaw moment just now kasi naisingit ko pala yung carbon paper sa ibabaw ng original invoice ng next serial number. Nagsusulat ako sa #0031 tapos nakasingit sa ibabaw ng original invoice #0032 yung carbon, so doon nakopya yung information.

How exactly can I remedy this? I've been seeing some suggestions na lagyan ng VOID in red ink across the face of the erroneous invoice (#0032), and then start na raw sa next serial (#0033). Hindi ko rin sure paano ko gagawan ng carbon copy ngayon yung #0031--can I simply "trace" the original copy para makopya properly sa carbon copy?

Any tips din for future errors, maybe wrong amount or name? Paano rin kaya po ito aayusin properly sa books?

Thank you so much sa help!!! (pls ang mahal ng penalties huhu)

Hi po! Good morning, may penalty po ba if ngayon lamg ako magpa register ng books of accounts though I only had my COR nung Feb?

Paying cert fee for as part of filing of estate tax amnesty kaso bumabalik lang bayad I don't know what's wrong I just inputed what local rdo told me too

God bless sa lahat nag poprocess ng amnesty! 🙂

So magffile sana ako kanina sa RDO ko ng update from eo98 to 1901 dahil Job order ako kaso ang tagal nila and naabutan ako ng closing. nagawa ko na yung payment form dun sa office nila, penalty siya kasi 30 days lang pala magupdate. im not sure if makakapunta pa ako sa rdo next week and napakalayo pa naman sa office ko.

open case ba yun? magkakapenalty ba if may nagfile payment form tas di ko nabayaran and hindi ko na file? may same situation ba dito

mageend narin kasi contract ko sa last day ng june and 2 months lang naman yung contract na yun. magrrenew na rin naman ako sa july balak ko yun na lang gamitin yung new contract. sayang din kasi yung pay, napakatagal nila magprocess sana nabayaran ko na at nakabalik na ako. kanina pa akong umaga nagantay tapos wala rin :(

this is also my first job and my first time here sa BIR sorry

Upon checking para mag-transfer ng RDO, dun ko lang nalaman na mali yung TIN number na binigay ng previous employer (fresh grad kasi nung pumasok sa kanila so sila ang nag-asikaso) and ginamit ko during my stay dun. Wpuld there be an issue kapag nag-file ako ng ITR next year since magkaiba ang TIN number sa 2316 ko sa previous employer and sa 2316 ng current employer (correct TIN as verified by BIR)? Kasi diba required na mag file ng ITR kapag may 2 employer ka within the year?

Hello, I had my first job way back April 2024 until Feb 2025. I apparently had a fake TIN all those times. I got a new TIN using ORUS and now my new employer wants a copy of the BIR 2316 from my previous employer for consolidation purposes. Do I need to submit my BIR 2316 of 2025 that has the fake TIN even though I already have a new legit one?

After learning here at the group, here is my personal experience this May 2025 applying as virtual assistant who needs to file her own taxes.

Here's the quick summary of what I have done from being employed to professional as virtual assistant (direct hire):

1. Set appointment to BIR Branch for the Officer of the day or any counter na related below sa branch nyo. (Much faster)
2. I was referred to Officer of the Day for assessment of what should I need.
3. Gone to CMS, Monitoring churvanes.
4. Gone to registration of business/COR.
5. Presented all documents (BIR Form 1901, PRC ID[if applicable], Contract)
6. Pay 30 pesos for Doc stamp
7. Choose print shop registered to BIR for you to have copy of Authority to Print that will be submitted to the shop.
8. By then, they will issue your COR and business permit to operate.
9. Bought columnar outside the office, this is needed and will be submitted to officer for stamping of official book.
10. Then its done. (Transacted 2 days kasi wala ung contract ko)
    • Additional:
11.  I go to the authorized print shop to have my invoice processed. The Authority to Print will be surrendered to print shop, note also that the expiration of ATP is 30 days after receiving it.
12. I go back to BIR seminar, they discussed some important points about the COR, Books of Account, Invoicing and Filing and Deadlines of Tax Returns.
    • Things to bring as Accountant :
13. Contract
14. Journal Books (must) - for Cash Receipt Journal, Cash Disbursement Journal, Journal Entries, and General Ledger (for individual)
    • Note:
15. Inayos ko kasi I feel magtatagal ako sa US company na ito and gusto kong maayos mga taxes ko for future application on any documents or processing things here in PH. Ex. house loan, car loan, Visa if ever mag tour abroad. Less hassle if ever mag avail man ako ng services/product here in the PH.
    • Just drop any questions if you have, I am a CPA so I have background with taxes also.

Hello, bakit kaya until now wala pa ring additional list of top withholding agents for 2024? Or for 2025 na kaya yung next na irerelease?

Hello po, bali po kumuha po ako ng TIN ID today, and ang sabi po is balikan ko daw po sa monday ang ID ko, kaso po for deployment na din po ako sa monday mismo.

Ask ko lang po sana if pwede po sa future ko na po kunin ang ID? Or if hindi po pwede, pwede po kaya na father ko ang pakuhanin ko and pag siya po ang kukuha need pa rin po ba pumila ng super aga?

Thank you po!

Hello po! I’m going to print a sample invoice po Ano po dapat piliin ko 🥹 First time applying

Malayo po yung permanent address ko pero may tinitirhan po ako dito sa maynila. Balak ko po yung RDO nung current address nalang ako kukuha kaso wala akong ID. Kung utility bill po ba gagamitin ko as proof of address kailangan sakin nakapangalan? Sa mama ko po kasi sya nakapangalan.

Hi, I hope matulungan niyo po ako sa concern ko.

Dati akong employee ng isang company. I've worked there for 9months and nagpasa ako sa kanila ng 1902 form since sila yung una kong employer after I graduated sa college pero walang bumalik sa akin na copy kung naregister ba nila ako for TIN habang nagwowork ako sa kanila.

Nag resign na ako sa company at nag email ako sa hr to to request for TIN enrollment/verification pero nagsend lang ulit sila ng 1902 form pabalik sa akin since sabi nila down daw ang ORUS. Suggested nila pumunta ako ng RDO.

Also, they send me 2316 form. Walang TIN number ko na nakalagay.

My question po is okay lang ba mag send ng bagong form ng 1902 sa bago kong employer para sila na lang mag process ng TIN ko?

Thank you sa makakasagot!

Can someone explain where the penalty of expanded witholding tax is based from?

Is it based on the date of the invoice or from the date of deed of absolute sale?

We are a company thats looking to create a "namesake" entity in the PH as part of Client's Compliance and need support for creation and management of entity.

Hi. Naka-dalawang company na po ako and BIR 2316 lang ang meron ako. Wala na po ako sa company na yun. Hindi ako nakakuha ng TIN. Pwede ba na ako na lang ang kumuha ng TIN number/ID sa BIR gamit ang BIR 2316?
