One of the many requirements that firms must meet is registration with the BIR, or Bureau of Internal Revenue. The BIR organization keeps track of all people’ and enterprises’ taxes, fees, and contributions. They do this to ensure that all required taxes are paid and that the company’s records are error-free.
When you fail to comply with the BIR registration requirement, you can be fined an amount ranging from P5,000 to P20,000. Apart from the fines for failing to comply, you could stay in jail for 6 months to 2 years for tax evasion and non-compliance. The registration process for getting your BIR Certificate of Registration requires a lot of effort, but it is way better than getting penalized and posting bail. Which is a better option for you? Spend hours registering your business or get a prison sentence for failing to comply with BIR registration. Choose wisely. In the long run, it makes more sense to register because it will help you generate more profits and save more money.
The BIR clarified the coverage of non-eFPS filers who shall mandatorily use the or Electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForms) facility by electronically submitting and filing all tax returns for certain taxpayers. According to the RR No. 5-2015, filing electronically shall be mandatory only for accredited tax agents (ATAs), practitioners and all its client-taxpayers, accredited printers of principal and supplementary receipts and invoices, one-time transaction (ONETT) taxpayers, those filing no-payment returns, government corporations, local government units and cooperatives.
Covered taxpayers are also required to print the system-generated Filing Reference (FRN) page, upon successful validation of the tax returns, and submit to the Authorized Agent Banks for the payment of the taxes due thereon.
It may be recalled that the detailed procedures of the online account enrolment for the use of the online eBIRForms system was provided in Revenue Memorandum Order No. (RMO) 24-2013. The BIR, on a separate announcement, also reminded the following taxpayers mandated to enrol, file, and pay tax returns EARLY using the Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS):
It should be noted that the failure to file tax returns using eFPS or eBIRForms shall be subject to the imposition of a penalty of One Thousand Pesos (P1,000) per return. Additionally, for failure to file a tax return in a manner not in compliance with existing regulations tantamount to wrong venue filing pursuant to Section 248 (A)(2) of the NIRC shall incure civil penalty of 25% of the tax due to be paid.
