AGENDA
BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE

The Electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms


(eBIRForms) was developed primarily due to the
emergence
of
e-Commerce.
eBIRForms
provide
taxpayers with an alternative mode of preparing and filing
tax returns that is easier and more convenient. The use of
eBIRForms by taxpayers will improve the BIR's tax return
data capture and storage thereby enhancing efficiency
and accuracy in the filing of tax returns. The eBIRForms
covers two (2) types of electronic services: Offline
eBIRForms Package and the Online eBIRForms System.

OVERVIEW
BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE

Offline eBIRForms Package -

Online eBIRForms System -

a tax preparation software that


allows taxpayers and ATAs to accomplish or fill up tax forms offline. It is an
alternative mode of preparing tax returns which deviates from the
conventional manual process of filling-up tax returns on pre-printed forms
that is highly susceptible to human error. Taxpayers/ATAs can directly
encode data, validate, edit, save, delete, view, print and submit their tax
returns. The package can do automatic computations and has the
capability to validate information encoded by taxpayers/ATAs.

a filing infrastructure that accepts tax


returns submitted online and automatically computes penalties for tax
returns submitted beyond due date. The System creates secured user
accounts thru enrollment for use of the online System, and allows ATAs to file
on behalf of their clients. The System also has a facility for TSPs to test and
certify the data generated by their tax preparation software (certification is
by form). It is capable of accepting returns data filed using certified TSP tax
preparation software.
