Mandated Taxpayer
Large Taxpayers
Prepare transaction systems, document scope, integration requirements, and assigned EIS owners.
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.
Mandated Taxpayer
Exporters
Assess how sales and billing data can be transformed into compliant electronic reporting workflows.
Mandated Taxpayer
E-Commerce Entities
Connect digitally generated transactions with the required invoice, sales-data, and transmission processes.
Why Prepare Now
Make EIS readiness a planned project — not a deadline scramble.
01
Reduce compliance risk
The BIR has extended the transition period to December 31, 2026 — early adoption gives your organization more time to resolve process and integration gaps before that deadline and stricter enforcement.
02
Define your transmission model
Choose whether your operating model is better suited to real-time or near real-time submission.
03
Assign clear ownership
Identify the Persons In Charge (PICs) for certification, sandbox testing, Taxpayer Portal activity, and go-live monitoring.
04
Start sandbox testing early
The 7-step certification testing process is identified as the most time-consuming stage in the onboarding journey.
EIS Ecosystem
The three EIS portals
Each portal serves a distinct role in issuing, certifying, or administering electronic invoicing and sales reporting.
Taxpayer-facing
EIS Taxpayer 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 Officers Portal
Used internally by BIR revenue officers — taxpayers don't access this portal directly.
Implementation Path
From registration to live EIS
transmission in four stages.
1
Sign up on the Certification Portal
Register the organization and begin developing or configuring the middleware that will connect your systems to BIR.
2
Apply for Certification
Complete the BIR-provided sandbox process, including transmission and compliance testing.
3
Apply for a Permit to Transmit
After successful certification, apply for formal permission to transmit live sales data.
4
Go Live
Begin operational sales-data transmission to BIR under the approved permit.
The Direc Approach
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.
- Map the systems that create and store invoice data.
- Identify API, JSON, middleware, and transmission requirements.
- Clarify the responsibilities of finance, accounting, IT, and compliance.
- Prepare a practical path from assessment to certification and production.
