Summary
RMC No. 17-2015 updates the alternative ways to obtain the Offline eBIRForms Package, now version 4.7.08, and explains how ITRs encoded in version 4.7.07 are handled.
Key points
- Updated download sources. The Package is available from www.knowyourtaxes.ph, from http://www.dof.gov.ph, from a new Dropbox link, or from a direct link to ebirforms_package_v4.7.08_ITRv2013.zip. The Circular specifies the procedures to download and install it.
- Earlier encoded ITRs. Annual ITRs previously encoded in version 4.7.07 can still be viewed and used in version 4.7.08. If Final Copy was not yet executed in version 4.7.07, the return can be submitted using version 4.7.08.
- Failed eFiling. If Final Copy was already executed, or no email notification arrives within two (2) hours of eFiling, or a message says the ITR was not successfully eFiled, the process in Annex D of RMC No. 14-2015 is followed.
Who is affected
- Taxpayers using the Offline eBIRForms Package for annual ITRs
Deadlines and effectivity
- No email notification after two (2) hours from eFiling triggers the Annex D process of RMC No. 14-2015
