BIR Concerns

Kapag sole proprietorship business at personal TIN mo iisa. Malamang di pa computerized filing sa district nyo noong huminto ka ng business last 2001 kaya wala kang notice of non filing na natanggap. And if the business was not substantial most likely hindi na hahabulin ng BIR yan especially beyond the 3 year period of prescription.

 

So you need not worry about lalo na after April 15, 2006 kasi by that time yung period to collect ng BIR expire na rin.

Don't generalize... Not everyone's a bad apple... :goatee:

 

I won't put all the blame to the BIR....

 

I mean, our tax laws are flawed you know.... :hypocritesmiley:

agree. not everyone is a bad apple.

if we all continue to try doing good,

maybe we'll still end up with something good.

i recall during my work around 1998 that we gave pictures for the BIR ID card.

 

some got their ID cards about my batchmates.

 

unfortunately, i didn't receive mine.

 

where and how do i claim it?

If your employer submitted all the necessary documents to BIR your ID should be available in the BIR Revenue District Office which has jurisdiction over your employer. Please check bir.gov.ph for the address. Be warned however that due to long lapse of time maaring na-archived na yung ID mo and will take time for them to locate it. I suggest you call the BIR office first before proceeding or better yet write a letter or maybe email addressed to the Revenue District Officer. They tend to give more serious attention to written queries since there's a law that they can be administratively charged for negligence should they fail to respond within 15 days from receipt of such query.

hi, i just would like to ask about vat and non vat invoicing. I have a sole proprietor business and I used to be classified as non vat because my products are fresh fish. Then we started processing those fish and my accountant told me to shift to vat classification but my invoice is still non vat because I haven't changed it yet. Now I want to sell another line of product which is vatable. Can I have 2 sets of invoice , one for the vatable product and one for the nonvatable product? What are the requirements needed to have both vat and non vat invoices? does this also mean I have to print different OR's also? What are the documents I need to bring to the BIR so that when I go there everything is already with me. I hope you could enlighten me on this. Thanks

hulseye,

 

You can get the info you need at www.bir.gov.ph. Check the VAT registration form and have it print out. It contains the list of required documents and the procedure.

 

And yes you can have two sets of invoice VAT and Non VAT. I don't think you need two sets of Official Receipts unless you will be offering services.

[hulseye]

thanks jackl , subukan ko nga iyon

[hulseye]

one last thing sir , kasi even though I'm now categorized as vat tax payer, yung invoice ko na ginagamit ngayon e non vat pa rin and this would be my first time to request a vatable invoice. should I start on number 0 para sa vatable invoice o susundin ko yung series nung last number ng non vat invoice ko?

hi BIR experts!

 

a friend of mine has a TIN because he was employed before. the problem is that he's been unemployed for quite some time now (5 years i think) and he's forgotten his TIN and can't find his documentation (yet).

 

so while he's turning his house upside down in finding his documentation, i wanna help him. my question is how can one know his/her TIN if he/she has forgotten it?

 

your replies will be very much appreciated

What i know is that the local government or when you are securing a mayor's permit that is the time you need a certificate of occupancy!!

The BIR will not normally ask for any lease contract but only the address of the business. It is the local government that asks for one because they need to make sure if you are covered by their jurisdiction and where they can locate you. The BIR on the other hand will just accept your business address when you register.

got a query also for the tax specialists here... help!

 

i ask a company to bill a client for me lets say P300,000.00.

we agreed even with that client that said amount is net plus taxes.

when the client paid the company who issued the billing,

they took out 12% vat plus wht. then when when the company

paid me, they took out another 12% vat because according to

them they have to declare to the BIR since they made use of

their invoice and their receipt.

 

i never said declare or not declare to the BIR. i simply said

P 300,00.00 to me net. any taxes to be added should be computed

after the P 300,000.00. i feel i was doubly taxed in this situation.

 

heeeelp. thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, your question is more a legal question than one which refers to tax. All that the tax laws provide is that when a VAT invoice is issued, it is assumed that the VAT component is included in the gross amount invoiced (VAT Inclusive Rule) so both the customer and the company were acting correctly for tax purposes. Similarly, withholding taxes applies to the amount invoiced that is net of the VAT.

 

The arrangement you chose for your billing actually created a situation where there will be tax leakage in the transaction. This is because essentially the customer became the customer of the company and you were the subcontractor of the company.

 

Thus, the problem boils down to a legal problem because your stipuation was that you were supposed to get 300,000 net of any taxes, meaning that the other parties would have to absorb the taxes imposed by the transaction. They did not absorb the tax and as such, there is a breach of contract that caused you loss of the amount they withheld on the tax.

Since you transferred a place or work.. you also need to transfer your registration.. because you cannot update your registration (ex single to married) without transferringyour registration to your current RDO.

 

What do you need to do is:

 

1.. Fill up a BIR form (i think it is BIR form 1905 ) then submit it to your previous RDO and have it stamp... then submit it to your current RDO to be them to register your account.

 

2. Fill up again a BIR form to update your exemption I think it is BIR form 2305.

 

Supposedly it is the responsibility of your HR dept to have you signed or filled up the transfer of your registration at the time of your start of work.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There is no such thing as renewal of TIN number.

 

Once you already secured your TIN illegally or llegally that would be your TIN for life..

 

You can update your information and exemption but you cannot change or renew your TIN.

 

Please note that possessing more than 1 TIN number is illegal and punishable by law

One more thought to the problem. If the TIN that was illegally secured was a legitimate TIN number assigned to you, then regardless of how it was acquired, it becomes your TIN number for life. However, if the TIN number you acquired was not even a legitimate TIN number or a TIN number assigned to someone else, you may need to secure a new TIN number from the BIR.
