LAOAG CITY—The Bureau of
Internal Revenue is calling on Ilocano taxpayers to attend a continuing seminar
on online tax payment system to avoid unnecessary penalty should they fail to
file their returns using the mandatory electronic forms.
Revenue District Officer
Simplicio Cabantac said a continuing seminar is open for taxpayers at for them
to familiarize themselves how to accomplish the online forms in filing their
tax returns.
On March 15, Finance
Secretary Cesar V. Purisima and Revenue Commissioner Kim Jacinto-Henares issued
Revenue Regulations No. 5-2015, mandating tax payers to file their income tax
returns electronically on or before the June 15 deadline.
Mr. Cabantac however
reiterated that those with “No Payment” returns may also file manually on or
before April 15.
Taxpayers who fail to submit
their returns using the Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) and the
Electronic BIR Forms (eBIRForms) will have a penalty of P1,000 per return and
at least 25 percent surcharges of the tax due to be paid, as mandated under the
National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) of 1997.
To avoid penalty, Mr. Cabantac
urges all Ilocano tax payers to follow the set guidelines and take advantage of
the electronic filing system for fast and convenient filing of returns.
As the “No Payment” returns
has been observed clogging the BIR web facility, Mr. Cabantac said the
deadlines should be met accordingly.
Under RR 6-2014 issued last
September, non-eFPS filers are mandated to use the eBIRForms in filing all
their tax returns. eBIRForms is an application covering 36 BIR forms, such as
income tax returns, excise tax forms, value-added tax or VAT forms, withholding
tax forms, documentary stamp tax forms, percentage tax forms, Onett forms and
payment forms.
Non-eFPS filers covered by RR
6-2014 are the following: accredited tax agents/practitioners and all their
client-taxpayers; accredited printers of principal and supplementary
receipts/invoices, and one-time transaction taxpayers (Onett).
