The BIR recently issued Revenue Regulations No. 9-2016 amending Section 4 of Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 6-2014, Coverage of Taxpayers Required to File Returns through Electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForms).

Only those non-eFPS filers are covered by these Regulations:

1. Accredited Tax Agents/Practitioners and all its client-taxpayers;
2. Accredited Printers of Principal and Supplementary Receipts/Invoices;
3. One-Time Transaction (ONETT) taxpayers who are classified as real estate dealers/developers; those who are considered as habitually engaged in the sale of real property and regular taxpayers already covered by eBIRForms. Thus, taxpayers who are filing BIR Form No. 1706, 1707, 1800 and 2000-OT (for BIR Form Form No. 1706 only) are excluded in the mandatory coverage from using the eBIRForms;
4. Those who shall file a "No Payment Return".
