In line with the Bureau’s continuing efforts to improve taxpayers’ voluntary compliance and increase revenue collections, there is a need to strengthen enforcement capabilities through effective monitoring and validation of the accuracy of sales declaration generated POS/CRM and/or other similar business machines from manual invoices/receipts/supplemental commercial documents.
Any taxpayer required to transmit sales data to the Bureau’s electronic sales reporting system but fails to do so, shall pay, for each day of violation, a penalty amounting to one-tenth of one percent (1/10 of 1%) of the annual net income as reflected in the taxpayer’s audited financial statement for the second year preceding the current taxable year for each day of violation or Ten thousand pesos (₱10,000), whichever is higher: Provided, That should the aggregate number of days of violation exceed one hundred eighty (180) days within a taxable year, an additional penalty of permanent closure of the taxpayer shall be imposed. (Section 264-A under Chapter II, Title X of the NIRC, as amended).
