Prepare for BIR EIS with a clearer path to compliance.

 
 
Understand your EIS requirements, system integration, certification, testing, and transmission requirements well ahead of the deadline.

What is the BIR Electronic Invoicing/Receipting and Sales Reporting System?

EIS was mandated under the TRAIN Law (Republic Act No. 10963) as part of the Philippines’ shift toward digital tax
administration. It enables eligible taxpayers to issue electronic invoices or receipts and transmit sales data directly to the
BIR, replacing or supplementing traditional paper-based processes.

Who Needs to Prepare

EIS readiness involves both
the taxpayer and the teams
behind the process.

The practical work is cross-functional: leadership, finance, accounting, IT, and compliance all play a role in preparing systems and operations.

Large taxpayer business operations

Mandated Taxpayer

Large Taxpayers

Prepare transaction systems, document scope, integration requirements, and assigned EIS owners.

Exporter business operations

Mandated Taxpayer

Exporters

Assess how sales and billing data can be transformed into compliant electronic reporting workflows.

E-commerce business operations

Mandated Taxpayer

E-Commerce Entities

Connect digitally generated transactions with the required invoice, sales-data, and transmission processes.

The three EIS portals

Each portal serves a distinct role in issuing, certifying, or administering electronic invoicing and sales reporting.

TAXPAYER-FACING

EIS Taxpayers Portal

Used to issue e-receipts and e-invoices as a standalone facility or together with an existing system, with inquiry statistics, customer and item listing
functions.

TECHNICAL CERTIFICATION

EIS Certification Portal

Used to certify middleware that connects POS/CRM, CAS, or ASP systems to BIR and to support the application for a Permit to Transmit.

BIR INTERNAL

EIS Revenue Portal

Used internally by BIR revenue officers – taxpayers don’t access this portal directly.

From registration to live EIS transmission in four stages.

Sign up on the Certification Portal
Register the organization and begin developing or configuring the middleware that will connect your systems
to BIR.

Apply for Certification

Complete the BIR-provided sandbox process, including transmission and compliance testing.

Apply for a Permit to Transmit

After successful certification, apply for formal permission to
transmit live sales data.

Go Live


Begin operational sales-data transmission to BIR under the approved permit.

Start with readiness before you start building.

 
Instead of treating  EIS  as another isolated compliance project, Direc helps teams understand their current environment first – systems, data sources, transmission needs, ownership, and testing requirements.
