Trade Name, Any Gov’t I.D Sole Requirement at BIR's Registration

 

NO MORE BRGY, MAYOR'S PERMITS

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

CALASIAO, Pangasinan – An applicant needs only a business name from the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) or any government issued identification card to get his Certification of Registration (CoR) in the Bureau of Internal Revenue, according to a government executive.

 Assistant Revenue District Office No. 4 Chief Aldrin Camba cited that the applicant for the CoR just presents his DTI and pays his Five Hundred Pesos fee to the New Business Registrant Officer (NBRO).

“Madali na lang mag-register. So ang kailangan lang natin na requirements paano mag register tayo is kung gusto natin magkaroon ng trade name, DTI Certificate and then any government I.D showing na basta pinapakita iyong complete address natin, date of birth. Iyon na lang iyon kailangan natin so magprocess na lang dito magbabayad na lang dito magbabayad ng Five Hundred Pesos makaka-register na siya,” he told this writer.

Camba said that he needs too a Sample Receipt before he can have a Book of Account and Official Receipt.

As long as the applicant meets all the requirements he can get the Certificate of Registration and Authority to Print Receipt within a day at the BIR office.

‘Kung hindi ma e rush iyong resibo niya may binebenta kami dito iyong BPR o BIR Printed Receipt puwede namin siyang bentahan”.

Camba said in the new memorandum issued in January 2020, the national office got rid of the Mayor or Business Permit as requirement for an applicant to have a CoR.

“Just go online and read the BIR’s Citizen’s Charter to learn about this new policy”.

Printing press owner, bookeeper, and Certified Public Accountant Lelia Chua-Sy told this writer that aside from the DTI, the applicant needs BIR Forms 1905 and 2303 to accomplish prior to have the CoR.

“If new business, siya mismo maglakad ng 2303 Form at application. Then puwede bibili ng one booklet sa BIR as Temporary Receipt. Kami gagawa ng regular receipt after mabigyan siya ng approval na Authority to Print”.

RDO No. 4 is under the helm of RDO-Chief Ernesto I. Mangabat. It is considered the biggest in terms of collection and premier office of the six RDOs in Region 1. It has a reduced tax goal of P3.5 billion from the P5 billion for year 2020. Mangabat blamed the new target as a result of the sluggish economy due to the rampage of the lethal phantom pandemic Corona Virus Disease -19.
