Filing calendar

Find out exactly which returns apply to you.

Most owners don't know what they're supposed to file until a penalty arrives. Answer five questions and we'll build your actual obligation list, with the next due date for each.

01

How is the business registered?

02

What's your tax type?

VAT registration is required once gross sales pass ₱3 million in a year. The 8% option is available to self-employed individuals below that threshold.

03

Do you have employees on payroll?

04

Do you pay rent, professional fees or commissions?

These payments carry expanded withholding tax. Most businesses renting a space fall here.

05

Do you carry inventory or stock?

    Behind on filings

    Unfiled returns don't expire. They compound.

    A missed return becomes an open case in the BIR system, and the cost grows every month it sits there. Work out roughly where you stand before it becomes an assessment.

    12 months

    Under Sections 248 and 249 of the Tax Code, a late return carries a 25% surcharge on the tax due plus 12% annual interest, running from the original deadline until it's paid. A compromise penalty is assessed on top, per the BIR's schedule.

    Estimated exposure
    Basic tax due50,000.00
    Surcharge, 25%12,500.00
    Interest, 12% a year6,000.00
    Estimated total68,500.00
    Estimate only, for a single return. Excludes the compromise penalty, which the BIR assesses separately per RMO 7-2015 based on the tax or gross sales involved. Fraudulent or willfully neglected returns carry a 50% surcharge instead of 25%. We compute your exact position during the compliance check.
    Packages

    Three retainers. Pick the one that matches your volume.

    Fixed monthly fee, no per-form charges, no surprise billing at year end. What you pay depends on transaction volume, headcount and VAT status — we quote after the compliance check, and it stays fixed from there.

    How it works

    From first call to first filing in about two weeks.

    STEP 01

    Free consultation

    Thirty minutes, in our Cebu office or over a call. Tell us what the business does and what shape the records are in.

    STEP 02

    Compliance check

    We review your COR, books and BIR standing, and pull your open case list. You get a written summary of where you stand and what it costs to fix.

    STEP 03

    Turnover

    We take over the records, set up your chart of accounts and filing calendar, and agree how documents reach us each month.

    STEP 04

    Monthly cycle

    You send documents, we book and file, you get your report and confirmations. Every month, on the same schedule.

    Questions

    What owners usually ask first.

    I haven't filed in over a year. Is that fixable?

    Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons people call us. Unfiled returns show up as open cases in the BIR system and accumulate surcharges and interest. They don't go away on their own, and they get more expensive the longer they sit. We pull your open case list, reconstruct the missing periods, compute the exposure so there are no surprises, and file. Most businesses are fully cleared within one to three months.

    Do you work with businesses outside Cebu?

    Yes. We're based in Cebu City and handle Metro Cebu clients in person, but filings are electronic and documents move by courier or scan, so we serve clients across the Visayas and Mindanao too. Anything needing a physical appearance at your RDO or LGU, we coordinate.

    What do I need to hand over to get started?

    Your BIR Certificate of Registration (Form 2303), your registered books of accounts, your latest filed returns, bank statements for the periods we'll cover, and your sales invoices and official receipts. If some of it is missing, say so at the consultation. That's normal, and it's part of what the compliance check is for.

    Is monthly VAT filing still required?

    No. Under the TRAIN Law, VAT-registered taxpayers stopped filing the monthly 2550M from January 2023 onward and now file quarterly on Form 2550Q, within 25 days after the close of each quarter. Withholding tax remittances are still monthly. We'll confirm exactly which returns apply to your registration.

    Can you handle payroll and government contributions too?

    Yes, from the Standard package up. That covers payroll computation and payslips, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG remittance, withholding tax on compensation, year-end Form 2316 for each employee, and the 1604-C alphalist.

    How do I send documents each month?

    Whatever works for you — a shared cloud folder, Viber photos, or physical pickup for clients in Metro Cebu. Most clients settle into sending scans in the first week of the month. We chase what's missing rather than waiting for it.

    Free consultation

    Tell us where the books stand.

    No sales pitch, no obligation. We'll tell you what's compliant, what isn't, and what it would cost to put right — even if you decide to handle it yourself.
