- The EOPT Act changed Philippine tax documentation by making the invoice the main document for both goods and services, replacing the old split between sales invoices and official receipts.
- VAT-registered businesses must generally issue invoices for every sale of goods or services; for others, invoices are required for PHP 500+ transactions and lower amounts if requested.
- Official receipts and similar documents are now generally only supplementary proof of payment/collection and do not by themselves support input VAT claims.
- Businesses must update POS, CRM, CAS, and invoicing systems to issue the correct invoice for all transactions and ensure proper details, numbering, and VAT data.
- Corrections like credit/debit memos and collection receipts should remain linked to the original transaction and be traceable.
