REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 24-02


SUBJECT :

the Submission of Quarterly List of Sales/Purchases.

TO

All Revenue Officials, Employees and Taxpayers Concerned

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 of Revenue Regulations 8-2002 dated


June 13, 2002 and in order to strengthen VAT administration, an automated
compliance monitoring and matching system called Reconciliation of Listings for
Enforcement (RELIEF) was developed and is now ready for implementation.
The RELIEF System requires VAT taxpayers to submit quarterly Summary
List of Sales [(for those whose quarterly sales/receipts (net of VAT) exceeds Two
Million Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P2,500,000.00)] and Summary List of
Purchases [(for those whose quarterly total purchases (net of VAT) exceeds One
Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00)] containing monthly totals per regular
customer/supplier as well as from casual customers/buyers with individual sales
amounting to One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00) or more, in an electronic
format on or before the 25th day of the month following the close of the taxable
calendar or fiscal quarter, using any of the following systems:
1.

Excel format;

2.

Taxpayer's own Extract Program; or

3.

Data Entry Module developed by the BIR (available for


downloading from the BIR website (http://www.bir.gov.ph) or in
diskette or CD upon request, but upon submission of a blank
diskette/CD by the requesting taxpayer).

In this regard, the electronic file record format for sales, purchases and
importations under the RELIEF System is hereby prescribed, together with the
necessary guidelines and job aids, as shown and discussed in detail in the following

The number of electronic files transmitted to the Revenue Data Center


(RDC)/Information System Operations Service Data Center (ISOS-DC) shall be
counted based on the transaction type per month one transaction type per month is
considered one file. Transaction types are sales, local purchases and importation.
A Data Validation Module shall be made available for those taxpayers who
would opt to use the Excel Format or their own Extract Program. The same could be
downloaded from the BIR's website or made available in diskette or CD upon request.
Once the threshold amount is reached for sales or purchases, VAT taxpayers

shall be required to submit the summary lists for the next three (3) succeeding
quarters, regardless of whether or not such succeeding taxable quarter sales or
purchases exceed the threshold amounts. The determination of the threshold amount
would include taxable (net of VAT), zero-rated and exempt transactions. The
quarterly summary list of sales or purchases, whichever is applicable, shall be
submitted to the Revenue District Office (RDO) or Large Taxpayers District Office
(LTDO) or Large Taxpayers Assistance Division (LTAD) having jurisdiction over the
taxpayer. Only diskettes readable upon submission shall be considered as duly
filed/submitted Quarterly Summary List of Sales and Output Tax/Purchases and Input
Tax/Importations. Failure to submit the aforementioned quarterly summary lists in the
manner prescribed above shall be punishable under the pertinent provisions of the
Code and regulations.

All concerned are hereby enjoined to be guided accordingly and give this

CREATING THE FILE


(The BIR offers the taxpayer a Data Entry Program to facilitate the creation of the
Summary List of Sales and Purchases. However, if the taxpayer opts to use other file creation
methods other than the Data Entry program, the BIR endorses the prescribed File Record
Format and recommends that the following be used as guidelines.)

One data file must contain only one type of transaction for one taxable
month. Multiple transaction types for multiple taxable months within
one data file will not be accepted. Following the standard file naming
convention, a data file must contain only one transaction type for one
taxable month.

Do not use header column names. Also known as columnar headings,


header column names are descriptive names used by the user to guide
them on the contents of a specific column. Before saving the data file,
make sure that header column names are not included in any of the rows.

Copyright 1994-2008

CD Technologies Asia, Inc.

Philippine Taxation 2007

15

The first record/row must contain information on the Owner of the


summary lists. For example, in the summary list of Sales, it must contain
the total amount of taxable sales, the total amount of exempt sales, the
total amount of zero-rated sales, and the total amount of output VAT
declared by the Owner for the whole taxable month, regardless of
Customer. Hence, the first record/row can be regarded as the "control
record".

The second and all succeeding records/row must contain information on


the consolidated transactions by Customer for the month. For example,
in the summary list of Sales, if the Owner had six (6) sales transactions
with Customer A within the taxable month, then Customer A record will
appear only once, reflecting the consolidated sales transactions for the
month. Hence, all Detail records will reflect one distinct record/row for
each Customer or Supplier.

Follow the column sequence and the specified field type, field length,
and field format, as prescribed in the File Record Format for Header and
Detail Records. Default values are defined for transaction type and
record type, while the TIN, Name and Address of all taxpayers are
required fields.

The following text fields must not contain any special characters
(commas, apostrophes, quotes, colons, periods, etc.):

Copyright 1994-2008

TIN of Owner/Customer/Vendor

REGISTERED NAME of Owner/Customer/Local or Foreign


Vendor

LAST_NAME,
FIRST_NAME,
Owner/Customer/Vendor

TRADE NAME of Owner

ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2 of Owner/Customer/Local Vendor

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN of Foreign Vendor

MIDDLE_NAME

of

Except for the decimal point to indicate centavos, all amount values
must not contain commas or special characters. For example,
P123,456,789.02 should be encoded as 123456789.02. If the amount
field pertains to a null or blank value, encode the value as zero as in 0. If
CD Technologies Asia, Inc.

Philippine Taxation 2007

16

amount is less than zero use minus sign to indicate a negative value, for
example 1234.50.

Text fields with number values should be left padded with zeroes. The
following fields should be treated as text fields, and not numeric, hence
must be able to store leading zeros, if necessary. For example:
o

TIN: TIN 002-567-890 should appear as 002567890, not as


2567890

RDO Code: RDO Code 32 should appear as 032, not as 32

Taxable Month: August 31, 2002 should appear as 08/31/2002,


not as 8/31/2002

The data file should be in comma-delimited text format with a .dat


extension name (filename.dat). A comma-delimited file is a text file
where each column/field value is separated by a comma.

If diskette space is not sufficient to contain one data file, the data file
should be compressed first at the hard disk. Copy the compressed file to
a diskette and indicate in the sticker label that the file is compressed.

DISKETTE LABELING

Use a sticker label when identifying or labeling the proper diskettes

Indicate the correct RDO code, TIN and Name of taxpayer on the
diskette

Indicate the correct data filenames contained in each diskette by


following the prescribed file naming convention stated above for
Summary Lists.
