Tax & accounting

We keep your books clean and your BIR filings on time, so compliance is never the thing that trips you up.

What it is

Books, filings, and the calendar that ties them together

Once a Philippine company is operating, tax is a recurring obligation, not a one-time event. There are monthly withholding returns, quarterly and annual income tax and VAT filings, and a year-end audited financial statement — each with its own Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) deadline and penalties for missing it.

We handle the full cycle: bookkeeping against your registered books of account, monthly and quarterly BIR returns, payroll-related filings, and coordination of the annual audited financial statements and income tax return. You get a clear picture of what's due and when, and it gets filed.

FAQs

Common questions

What taxes does a Philippine company typically file?

Most companies deal with income tax (quarterly and annual), VAT or percentage tax, and withholding taxes on compensation and certain payments. The exact mix depends on your registration and revenue — we confirm your profile at the start.

When is the annual income tax return due?

For calendar-year taxpayers, the annual income tax return is generally due by April 15 of the following year, filed together with the audited financial statements. We work backward from that to keep the year-end close on track.

Do I need an external auditor?

Companies above the BIR/SEC thresholds must file audited financial statements prepared by an independent CPA. We coordinate with the auditor and prepare the underlying records so the audit goes smoothly.

Can you fix late or missed filings?

Usually, yes. We assess what's outstanding, file what's due, and work through any penalties or open assessments. The sooner it's addressed, the smaller the exposure.
