    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the 12% VAT on digital services in the Philippines?

    Starting June 2025, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) requires both local and foreign digital service providers to charge a 12% VAT on transactions consumed in the Philippines. This covers SaaS subscriptions, digital ads, cloud hosting, and online tools.

    Yes. Digital advertising and SaaS platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, QuickBooks, and Canva are all covered. If a foreign supplier doesn’t charge VAT directly, your business must record it under the reverse-charge mechanism.

    Foreign digital service providers earning at least ₱3 million annually from Philippine customers must register with the BIR and file VAT returns through the new VDS Portal. Local businesses also need to properly record input and output VAT for compliance.

    Businesses should:

    Review all digital subscriptions and ad expenses.

    1. Update accounting systems with a “Digital Services VAT” code.
    2. Clarify contracts with vendors about VAT.
    3. Train finance staff to properly record VATable transactions.

    The Entrepreneurs Accounting Academy (EAA) is hosting the Comprehensive Tax Updates & Compliance Masterclass on September 16. This one-day seminar covers the new VAT on digital services, plus income tax changes, audit strategies, and more.
