Last updated September 21, 2026
RR 11-2025 (27 February 2025), as amended by RR 26-2025, sets 31 December 2026 as the deadline for the first wave: e-commerce and internet-transaction businesses (micro taxpayers excluded), taxpayers under the Large Taxpayers Service, large taxpayers under the Ease of Paying Taxes Act (RA 11976), and businesses already using computerised accounting systems or invoicing software. It implements the CREATE MORE Act (RA 12066). The earlier EIS pilot for selected large taxpayers, launched in July 2022, was suspended by late 2023 amid technical challenges – this time the BIR is phasing in further groups only as its own infrastructure is ready.

Large taxpayers & e-commerce: 31 Dec 2026
¿Me aplica?
Dos preguntas. La regla del establecimiento permanente es donde la mayoría de las empresas extranjeras se equivocan.
Roughly how big is the business?
Is your business established in the Philippines – a company, branch, or fixed establishment there?
Out of scope – no Philippine e-invoicing duties
With no establishment and no Philippine tax registration, the BIR's e-invoicing rules don't reach you. Revisit if you register for VAT there – the mandate's waves are defined by taxpayer classification, so your status on registration decides when you join.
Registered without establishment – wait for the implementing rules
The first wave is defined by taxpayer classification, and how non-resident registrants – including foreign digital service providers with Philippine VAT registrations – will be treated isn't spelled out in the rules read so far. Nothing is due from you by the 2026 deadline on the face of it, but confirm with the BIR or a local adviser before relying on that.
Not in the first wave – unless you sell online or use accounting software
Most SMEs sit outside the 31 December 2026 wave – but two doors pull smaller businesses in: e-commerce and internet transactions (micro taxpayers excluded), and using a computerised accounting system or invoicing software. If either applies, you share the large-taxpayer deadline. Everyone else follows in later phases once the BIR's platform is ready.
In scope – your deadline is 31 December 2026
Taxpayers under the Large Taxpayers Service, large taxpayers under RA 11976, e-commerce businesses and anyone already running a computerised accounting system are in the first wave: by 31 December 2026 invoices must be system-generated through BIR-registered or accredited software in the BIR's structured format, with sales data transmitted no later than three calendar days from the transaction. If you lived through the 2022 EIS pilot, note this mandate runs on new rules – RR 11-2025 as amended by RR 26-2025.
