Summary
RMC No. 87-2021 prescribes the acceptance of the Philippine Identification (PhilID) Card as a supporting document for proof of address and as valid proof of identification for all transactions or frontline services with the BIR.
Key points
- 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.
- 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
