RMC No. 87-2021: Prescribes the acceptance of Philippine Identification (PhilID) Card as an acceptable supporting document for proof of address and valid proof of identification for all transactions or frontline services with the BIR

Key points

1. Acceptance by BIR personnel. Revenue employees and officials processing frontline services that require a valid government-issued ID must accept the PSA-issued PhilID Card as proof of the taxpayer’s identity.
2. No additional ID needed. Presenting the PhilID alone is enough as valid proof of identification, so no other government ID is required to establish the taxpayer’s identity.

Who is affected

• Revenue employees and officials processing BIR frontline services
• Taxpayers presenting a PhilID Card
