There are more than 3,700 large taxpayers in the Philippines, and many are not compliant to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). The BIR released a regulation, No. 09-2009 that mandates all the large Taxpayers to acquire a Computerized Accounting System (CAS) that is compliant with the e-documents and other records that the BIR requires. It refers to the integration of different component systems to produce computerized books of accounts and computer-generated accounting records and documents.
The same regulation also applies to the top 500 medium-sized provincial taxpayers in every revenue district which has the equivalent classification of a large taxpayer. With the activation of the BIR Special Task Force called Computerized Systems Evaluation Team (CSET) to monitor medium and large taxpayers, more active campaigns and stricter enforcement from the tax authorities is expected.
Those subject to this new regulation must get proper authorization from the BIR in adopting a CAS. A good intentioned taxpayer could not simply purchase a CAS and assume instant compliance. The use of a CAS without approval from the BIR will incur penalties of P25,000 on the first offense and P50,000 on the second offense pursuant to RMO 1-90, as amended by RMO 56-2000. If a taxpayer generates a sales invoice or official receipt from an unauthorized CAS, a penalty of P1,000 will be imposed for each document issued, but the maximum penalty shall not exceed P25,000 per year.
The good thing is CAS is not just for the benefit of addressing BIR requirements to avoid penalties and termination of a company due to non-compliance, it also aids in managing a business from procurement to sales, to inventory tracking, and of course, accounting.
