- The BIR is mandating a centralized Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) starting March 2026, replacing manual invoicing with secure, automated, real-time digital processes.
- Stage 1 rollout targets high-volume taxpayers, e-commerce, large corporations, and digital accounting users; Stage 2 will include exporters, incentivized enterprises, POS retailers, and others as determined by BIR.
- All branches of a covered entity must comply if any branch or the head office is within scope.
- Covered documents include Sales Invoices, Official Receipts, Service Billings, Debit/Credit Notes, all in a standardized JSON format with mandatory fields for validation and audit.
- Security is ensured through mandatory digital signatures (JWS) on each invoice payload.
