BIR opens Tax Payer Portal

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) released a new memorandum announcing the availability of the Taxpayer Portal (TPPortal) so that individual taxpayers will be able to register and access their taxpayer information in a single portal.

In line with the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) continuing efforts to modernize tax administration, enhance taxpayer services, and promote ease of doing business, this Circular is issued to announce the availability of the Taxpayer Portal and its pilot implementation covering taxpayers registered under the offices/divisions of the BIR’s Large Taxpayers Service (LTS).

The Taxpayer Portal is a secured digital platform that provides taxpayers with a single-view online access to their tax information. Through a centralized taxpayer profile, taxpayers can conveniently view their current registration details, monitor the status of filed tax returns, track tax payments, and receive timely system-generated reminders for tax return filing and payment obligations. With the said features, the need for manual follow-ups and in-person visits to BIR offices will be reduced.

As part of the pilot implementation, taxpayers registered under the LTS may enroll in the Taxpayer Portal and use the following system functionalities:

1. Viewing of taxpayer registration information;
2. Monitoring of status of filed tax returns per Tax Type/Form Type;
3. Tracking of tax payments;
4. Viewing of Account Ledger per Tax Type/Form Type; and
5. Receiving of system-generated notifications and tax reminders.

The TPPortal is initially available to all Large Taxpayers. Registration can be done directly on the portal itself.
