- Philippine businesses using POS terminals, CRMs, and computerized sales systems must comply with BIR registration/accreditation, invoicing, and record-retention rules.
- Each system must be properly registered to the taxpayer and location, with a Machine Identification Number (MIN) and, when required, a Permit to Use (PTU) or similar authorization.
- POS and related software must protect transaction integrity through features like non-resettable totals, electronic journals, and prevention of unauthorized edits or deletions.
- Compliance is shifting beyond machine registration toward electronic invoicing and digital reporting, requiring integration with accounting, ERP, e-commerce, and the BIR Electronic Invoicing System (EIS).
- Businesses must ensure their systems can generate and transmit structured electronic transaction data, including prescribed formats such as JSON, to support BIR reporting requirements.
