Philippines implements VAT on e-services provided by non-resident suppliers

2 June 2025

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) recently published Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 47-2025, this gives further detailed guidance relating to the introduction of VAT on digital services provided by foreign providers to local Filipino consumers and non-VAT registered resident businesses from 1 June 2025.

The BIR have opened a new simplified VAT registration portal and have confirmed that affected companies will not be required to register until they exceed an annual threshold of PHP 3 million (approx. £41,000).

There is no need to engage a local tax agent or fiscal representative to VAT register in the country.
