Application for Permit to Adopt / Use CAS at BIR Philippines

Application for Permit to Adopt / Use Computerized Accounting System

at Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Philippines

 

  1. I would like to know the difficulties involved and availability of relevant information when applying for the permit above.
  2. Has anyone else gone thru this process?
  3. Does Quickbooks provide the info listed in:
    • BIR Revenue Memo Order NO. 29-2002
    • Section VI. A. 1. f. Technical Requirements
      • F.1  Application Name and Software Used (Development & Database)

      • F.2  Functions and Features of the Application.

      • F.3  System Flow/s

      • F.4  Process Flow

      • F.5  Back-up Procedure, Disaster and Recovery Plan

      • F.6  Sworn Statement (Annex “C” ) and Proof of System Ownership

      • F.7  List of Reports and Correspondences that can be generated from the system with their description, purpose and sample layout

      • F.8  Facsimile of System generated Loose-Leaf Books of Accounts and list thereof/ Receipts/ Invoices

    • Note 1: Proof of System Ownership can probably be fulfilled with some sort of subscription certification in the case of Quickbooks Online.

    • Note 2: Samples of the above can be found in related article below.
  4. What is the updates release plan of Quickbooks online like?
    • Can an account stick to a specific version and upgrade voluntarily?
    • Under Section V. P. of the same RMO:
      • The taxpayer shall apply for a new permit to use CAS in case of any system enhancement that shall result in change in systems release and/or version number. In case a taxpayer is found using an enhanced system without the approval of the BIR, the permit originally issued shall be deemed automatically revoked from the time the enhanced system is adopted.

Application for Permit to Adopt / Use CAS at BIR Philippines

Welcome to the Community, @CRThink.

 

I've got some insights to share regarding the tax tracking feature in QuickBooks Online International.

The tax tracking feature in the system follows general guidelines. That said, if the Philippines has a region specification for tax tracking, this may or may not be available.

 

However, QBO allows you to add different types of taxes depending on what is required in your region. This way, you'll be able to apply them to your transactions and pull up reports that contain the tax information. 

 

To add tax rates:

  1. Click on Taxes at the left pane.
  2. Press on Add tax at the top. 
  3. Select the type of tax that you'd like add. 
  4. Follow the instructions to set it up.
  5. Hit on Save.

To view the data of the taxes that were applied to your entries, you may click the View reports button on the Tax page and select your desired report. Please see the screenshot attached for your reference: 

 

On the other hand, when it comes to the information needed for the Application for Permit to Adopt / Use Computerized Accounting System
at the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Philippines, QuickBooks only generates details based on the taxes that you've tracked. 

 

You may reach out to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Philippines, to be guided accordingly in this process.

 

Lastly, to stay updated with our latest news and product releases, I recommend visiting our QuickBooks Online Blog site regularly. 

 

I'm just a reply away to assist you if you have any other questions. Take care!

We are in the process complying with the Bureau of Internal Revenue's Computerized Accounting System for our implementation of the Quickbooks Online Plus. We already completed all our requirements, except for one that is the joint Sworn Statement to be signed by both the taxpayer and the System provider, which is Intuit for this purpose. Once this is complied with, we can already get our BIR registration to go-live. 

 

We have submitted the joint Sworn statement for Intuit's signing through the customer support. But we are yet to received the signed document. Problem is we cannot proceed to go-live until we comply all the requirements of the bureau. The good thing is that surely more companies will consider using QBO once we are successful in getting BIR compliance certification for QBO as qualified for Computerized Accounting System. Hope Intuit can help us to fast-track the approval of the joint sworn statement.

 

Hoping that someone could help us on this.

Thanks for providing details about your application for a permit at BIR Philippines, J1ede-98.

 

Regarding the approval, I'm unable to pull up an account here in the Community forum. I recommend contacting again the customer support so they can check the joint sworn statement in a secure environment.

 

If there's a need for you to set up sales tax in QuickBooks, here's the article for instructions: Applying Tax to transactions

 

Let me know if you have follow-up questions about commenting below. I'll be right here to help you.

Hi MaryLandT,

 

Thank you for letting us know that someone is attending our concern. Indeed, we followed up with the customer support who's handling our request. We're just waiting for feedback from them. Unfortunate, we cannot go live in using QBO until we get the signed Joint Sworn Statement and submit it to the bureau.

 

We hope there's a way you can help us fasttrack the signing of  the document.

 

Best regards,

Willy Gagarin
