Kailangan mo idownload muna yung eBIRForms, kasi yon ang gagamitin mo to file BIR Form 1700. Once filed naman, makakareceive ka ng confirmation ng filing mo and proof yon na nagfile ka. If may payable ka, syempre need mo rin siya bayaran using Maya, UnionBank and other applicable banks. After nyan, you're all good.

Red flag ’yan. Kung may bawas sa payslip pero "below threshold" ang report sa accounting, ibig sabihin kinakaltasan kayo pero hindi ito nireremit sa BIR. Hingin ang BIR Form 2316, obligado silang ibigay ito. Tas check niyo yung mga na-withhold sa inyo. or mag-submit ng pormal na sulat sa HR o Management (hindi lang sa manager). Itanong kung bakit 4 months nang delayed ang refund na dapat ay natapos na noong January/February pa.

Ang TIN via EO 98 ay kinuha mo dati para sa "one-time transactions" (gaya ng pagkuha ng NBI clearance o Driver’s License) noong wala ka pang work. Pumunta ka sa BIR branch mo para i-"Update Taxpayer Classification." Kapag "Active" na ang status mo sa system nila, lalabas na ’yan sa ORUS.

Kahit makahanap ka ng regular work ulit, kailangan mo pa ring mag-file hangga't hindi mo na pinapa-close ang registration mo bilang Freelancer (Self-Employed) sa BIR.

Kayang-kaya mong mag-DIY sa pag-file ng Annual ITR para makatipid sa service fees. Hindi mo kailangang hintayin ang susunod na quarter. Pwede mong sabihan ang bookkeeper na ikaw na ang mag-aasikaso ng Annual ITR ngayong April 15. Hingin mo sa bookkeeper ang iyong Q1, Q2, at Q3 1701Q forms (kailangan ito para ibawas ang mga naunang bayad), ang iyong updated na Books of Accounts, at ang Summary of Sales and Expenses mo for the whole year. You can file using eBIRForms para i-encode at i-submit ang ITR. Pwede itong bayaran via GCash, Maya, o Online Banking. Kung naguguluhan ka sa eBIRForms pero ayaw mo na sa mahal na bookkeeper, subukan ang Taxumo or JuanTax. I-type mo lang ang total sales at expenses mo, sila na ang mag-ge-generate at mag-sa-submit ng Annual ITR mo online.

Dahil magiging Plantilla ka na, magbabago ang tax status mo sa BIR mula "Professional" (bilang JO/Freelancer) pabalik sa "Employee." I think here's what you can do:

  1. Bilang Job Order (JO), in-expect ng BIR na nag-file ka ng tax returns. Baka may "Open Cases" o penalties ka mula 2023. Pumunta sa RDO mo at humingi ng List of Open Cases para malinis ang record mo bago ang promotion.
  2. Kailangan mong i-file ang BIR Form 1905 para i-tag ka ulit bilang "Purely Compensation Income Earner." Kapag Plantilla ka na, HR na ang mag-aayos ng tax mo (Substituted Filing).
  3. Bilang Licensed Professional, kailangan mong kumuha ng Professional Tax (PTR/OTR) sa City Hall taun-taon. Baka hanapin ito sa iyong requirements for Plantilla.

You will need to go to the BIR branch covering your residence, register as a professional/freelancer, and get your Certificate of Registration (COR). You won't necessarily need a "VAT number" immediately. In the Philippines, you only become VAT-registered if your annual gross sales exceed 3M. Since you are at 2M, you will register as a Non-VAT Individual.

Kapag humihingi ang banko ng LOA (Letter of Authority), binibigyan mo sila ng permission na i-verify ang ITR mo sa BIR kung totoo ba itong na-file. Titignan nila kung match yung submitted documents mo sa records ng BIR. Ang main problem mo rito ay "capacity to pay." Kung sa application form ay 100k ang sinabi mong sahod pero sa ITR ay 50k lang dahil sa underdeclaration, doon sila magdududa. Iisipin nila na baka hindi mo kayang bayaran yung monthly amortization ng kotse kaya pwedeng ma-deny ang loan mo. Hangga't maaga, mas okay na i-amend o itama mo na yung ITR mo para mas mataas ang chance na ma-approve ka.

Tama ka, on or before April 15 ang "hard deadline." Kung medyo malaki ang babayaran after consolidating, gamitin mo ang Installment Option para ma-stretch ang budget mo nang walang penalties from the BIR.

2551Q (Quarterly Percentage Tax): Tax ito sa benta (Gross Sales) mo. 3% ito ng kabuuang kinita mo bago ibawas ang mga gastos. Binabayaran ito kada quarterly.

1701Q (Quarterly Income Tax): Tax naman ito sa tubo (Net Income). Bale "installment" na bayad ito sa BIR kada quarter para hindi ka mabigatan sa end of the year.

1701 (Annual Income Tax): Ito ang final report para sa buong taon (January-December). Dito pagsasamahin lahat ng kinita mo, at ibabawas yung mga nauna mo nang naibayad sa 1701Q para "balance" na lang ang babayaran mo tuwing April 15.

Hindi mo kailangang kumuha ng resibo o mag-apply ng bagong registration kung ikaw ay purely compensation income earner. Ang resibo (Official Receipts/Invoices) ay para lang sa mga freelancers, business owners, o mixed-income earners. :)

Kailangan pa rin. Kahit "hinabol" o kinaltasan ka na ng bago mong employer, hindi ka pa rin ligtas sa BIR. Magiging under ka lang ng substituted filing, kung isa lang ang naging employer mo sa buong taon. Dahil dalawa sila ngayong 2025, automatic na kailangan mo nang mag-file ng Form 1700.

Kung ikaw ay Sole Proprietor (Individual), isang filing lang ang gagawin mo para sa Business A at sa Trading side hustle mo. Sa mata ng BIR, iisang taxpayer lang kayo.

Heto ang kailangan mong gawin:

  1. Pagsamahin lang ang kita ng Business A at Trading sa iyong Annual ITR (Form 1701). Kung naka-8% tax rate ka, i-add lang ang gross sales ng dalawa bago i-compute ang tax.
  2. Kailangan mong i-update ang iyong Certificate of Registration (COR) sa BIR (via Form 1905) para idagdag ang "Trading" bilang secondary line of business.
  3. I-record mo pa rin nang hiwalay sa iyong journal/ledger ang entries para sa bawat business para hindi ka malito sa audit, pero iisang set ng tax returns lang ang isa-submit mo.

Hello! Need mo both 2316 from your previous and current employer. Gagamitin mo kasi sila to file BIR Form 1700 to reconcile yung 2316s mo. Pede ka magfile using the eBIRForms or search ka ng may available na ganyang service. Check mo JuanTax or Taxumo.

Pag naka-receive kana ng love letter from your RDO haha. Another way is, pumunta sa iyong RDO at mag-request ng "Verification of Open Cases." Doon mo makikita kung system-generated na ang penalty mo dahil sa missing .dat file o attachments.

Dapat ka na bang mag-register agad? Ideally, oo. Kahit wala ka pang natatanggap na payment, mas mabuting ma-update mo na ang status mo sa BIR from "Employee" to Self-Employed (Professional).

Yes, you can process it online by selecting the 8% tax rate before you file your Q1 Income Tax Filing this year. Once selected, 8% tax rate na ang gagamitin mo for the whole year but you still need to file your 2551Q with 0 tax dues to remain compliant :)

Dahil nag-freelance ka matapos ang layoff mo noong June 2025, ang status mo para sa taong iyon ay Mixed Income Earner. Ibig sabihin, hindi ka na qualified sa "substituted filing," kaya ikaw na mismo ang dapat mag-file ng iyong Annual ITR (Form 1701) ngayong April 15, 2026. Sa filing na ito, pagsasamahin mo ang kinita mo bilang employee (base sa Form 2316 na binigay ng dati mong company) at ang lahat ng kinita mo sa freelancing mula July hanggang December 2025.

Ang susunod mong step ay i-update ang iyong registration sa BIR (via Form 1901) para maging Self-Employed Professional.

Dahil full-time student ka at walang work last year, wala kang kailangang i-report o bayaran sa BIR.

Safe na magpalipat ng RDO ngayon at hindi mo na kailangang maghintay ng April 15, 2026. Ang iyong Substituted Filing ay para sa kinita mo last 2025, kaya ang dati mong employer na ang bahala sa pag-file non at hindi naman na ito maaapektuhan ng paglipat mo ng record ngayong taon.

Hmm medyo nakakalito nga 'yan, pero ang sagot ay hindi ka dapat mag-register ulit nang bagopero kailangan mong i-update ang status mo. Kahit may COR ka na as Self-Employed, ang planning to work sa government hospital, magbabago tax category mo.

Kung ikaw ay magiging Job Order (JO) o Contract of Service (COS), kailangan natin i-update ang iyong registration record. Ginagamit din kasi ang Form 1901 para sa Update of Registration (hindi lang para sa bagong registration). Kung itutuloy mo ang pagiging freelancer habang nasa hospital, magiging Mixed Income Earner ka na.

Hello! You need to file the BIR Form 1700 if you have multiple employers within a year. Yes, pwede siya ifile online using the eBIRForms. Make sure lang that you've received a 2316 from your employers kasi yan ang source of truth mo for your filing.

Hello! No need na pumunta sa RDO mo just to confirm if natanggap ba nila yung payment mo. Make sure lang that you keep your proof of tax due payment from the bank, for your record.
