Business registration can now be done online through the New Business Registration (NewBizReg) Portal opened by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
The country’s largest revenue collection agency said the new contactless transaction point would enable taxpayers to submit applications for business registration to the concerned BIR Revenue District Office (RDO) by email.
NewBizReg Portal can be used by individual and non-individual businesses such as sole proprietors, professionals, mixed income earners, corporations, partnerships, cooperatives and associations.
To register a business through the portal, applicants must email all the documents required as scanned PDF copies. All attachments should not exceed four megabytes in file size.
For BIR to determine the applicable tax obligations, applicants are required to download and answer the tax type questionnaire.
The scanned accomplished tax type questionnaire will be included as attachment to the taxpayer email application.
The NewBizReg Portal is among the projects under the Innovating Taxpayer Experience and BIR Service Processes of the Digital Transformation Program.
It was launched with two other projects: the Contact Center Solution with Chatbot Module and Online Survey.
The BIR has been ramping up its digitalization drive since before the pandemic as a means of improving the ease of doing business.
