- The Philippines’ Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) is implementing mandatory e-invoicing for large taxpayers and e-commerce businesses by March 2026, following the enactment of Republic Act 12066. This aims to modernize the tax system and enhance the country’s competitiveness as a business hub, with specific regulations outlined in Revenue Regulation No. 011-2025.
- Businesses required to comply include large taxpayers, e-commerce operators, exporters, and those using computerized accounting systems. They must issue electronic invoices through a BIR-accredited system, report sales data in a structured JSON format, and validate invoices via the EIS portal to ensure compliance with tax regulations.
- Non-compliance with the e-invoicing mandate can lead to penalties, making it essential for businesses to prepare by registering with the EIS portal, adopting compliant invoicing systems, and training staff. The transition to e-invoicing is expected to streamline operations, reduce administrative costs, and improve tax compliance as the March 2026 deadline approaches.
