Does the e-invoicing mandate cover you?

Fourteen questions, about ninety seconds, and an honest answer — including "no, this doesn't apply to you" if that's the truth. Nothing is sent anywhere; the check runs entirely in your browser.

61 days until about November 25, the last safe date to file a complete Permit to Issue application. The BIR takes up to 20 working days to decide it, and no covered business may issue an e-invoice from December 31 without one.
Part 1

Are you covered?

Phase 1 catches more businesses than most people expect. These five questions settle it.

Is your business registered under the BIR Large Taxpayers Service, or classified as a Large Taxpayer under the EOPT Act?

Do you issue invoices using accounting or invoicing software?

Includes a Computerized Accounting System (CAS) or Computerized Books of Accounts (CBA) — and ordinary packages like Xero or QuickBooks.

Do you sell goods or services online?

Are your annual gross sales above ₱3 million?

This threshold decides the e-commerce trigger — micro enterprises below it are exempt from that particular route into Phase 1.

Are you an exporter, a Point-of-Sale (POS) user, or a Registered Business Enterprise claiming incentives?

Part 2

Permit and certification

The steps that run on the BIR's clock, not yours. This is where most of the calendar goes.

Have you chosen the e-invoicing system you will issue from?

Your Permit to Issue names the system. Changing systems after it is granted means a new or amended permit.

Do you hold a Permit to Issue (PTI) Electronic Invoice?

Filed with your Revenue District Office or the Large Taxpayer Office. The BIR has 20 working days from complete documents to decide.

Have you begun EIS Certification testing?

Due within six months of your Permit to Issue. Missing it is a ground for the BIR to revoke the permit.

Part 3

Your invoice data

Where firms usually discover they are further behind than they thought.

Can your system export invoice data in a structured format?

Structured means machine-readable fields — not a PDF or a printed copy.

Do your line items reconcile to invoice totals, to the centavo, without manual correction?

Are buyer Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) validated on entry, and is VAT treatment assigned correctly?

VAT (Value-Added Tax) treatment means the 12% standard rate, zero-rated and exempt sales each being tagged correctly rather than assumed.

Part 4

Transmission

Transmission to the BIR starts only when the BIR directs it, but EIS Certification tests for it now. Almost nobody clears this section without a system built for it.

Can you attach a cryptographic signature to each invoice payload?

The EIS is built on JWS (JSON Web Signature), the standard defined in RFC 7515.

Do you track every submission through to BIR acknowledgment, with retry and no duplicate filing?

The EIS acknowledges asynchronously, so a submission can sit unconfirmed. A duplicate filing is painful to unwind.

Do you monitor digital certificate expiry across every entity you file for?

Please answer every question — there are 0 left.
