- The BIR Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) mandates digital invoicing for eligible businesses in the Philippines, starting March 2026 for high-volume taxpayers and later for others.
- Businesses must use BIR-approved software to generate and transmit invoices and related documents in a standardized JSON format, ensuring real-time integration and error reduction.
- All branches of covered businesses must comply, requiring coordinated onboarding and system upgrades.
- E-invoices must include specific data fields and use JSON Web Signature (JWS) for security and validation.
- The process involves creating, signing, and submitting invoices to the BIR, with confirmation or correction notices provided, and submissions generally due within three days.
