Philippines
Phased rollout starting with the 100 largest taxpayers (July 2022 pilot). Rules set by RR 11-2025 (27 Feb 2025); RR 26-2025 (5 Sep 2025) moved the deadline for mandatory structured e-invoice and e-receipt issuance to 31 Dec 2026. Scope covers large taxpayers, exporters, CAS users and e-commerce sellers; micro taxpayers below PHP 3M are exempt but may opt in. Systems must integrate with the BIR Electronic Invoicing System — a PDF or scan does not qualify.

// What you have to do
- Confirm which of your flows are in scopeB2B is phased, B2G is phased, B2C is phased.
- Emit JSON (EIS schema)Your ERP must produce this syntax, not a PDF or a print stream.
- Connect via EIS (Electronic Invoicing System) APIThis is the channel, separate from the format. Most projects underestimate it.
- Plan for the Clearance modelThe regulator validates before the invoice is legally issued, so a rejection blocks the sale. Build the rejection path first.
- Retain for 10 yearsArchive the structured original, not a rendering of it.
- Understand the exposureUp to PHP 50,000 plus suspension of registration; criminal sanctions for evasion.
