Agricultural Producers have an important role of the growth and success of Agricultural Food Products (Farm Produce, Livestock, Poultry, Marine Product, Ordinary Salt & Agricultural Inputs) in the community.

Provided, further, however, that Agricultural Producers shall record each sale transaction in a simplified sales book containing the following information:

a. date of transaction;

b. description of goods sold or services rendered;

c. registered name, registered address, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the purchaser if engaged in business;

d. amount of sales;

For this purpose, the Agricultural Producer, for the first year of business operation or one year from registration, shall be allowed to purchase and use BIR-printed receipts or BIR-printed invoices from the Revenue District Office (RDO) where they will register pursuant to Section 6 of these Regulations. The Agricultural Producer shall thereafter be require to issue official receipts/sales invoices printed pursuant to an Authority to Print (ATP).
