Taxpayers submitting their tax returns through the Offline eBIRForms Package are advised to capture a screenshot of the pop-up message indicating that a system-generated email confirmation has been sent to the taxpayer's registered email address.

The screenshot shall serve as proof of filing and successful submission of the tax return, which may be presented to the AAB when paying the corresponding tax due, particularly in cases where there is a delay in the receipt of the official email confirmation that the return has been successfully filed.

With the passage of the Ease of Paying Taxes (EOPT) Act, taxpayers can now file returns and pay taxes at any Authorized Agent Bank (AAB) or Revenue Collection Office (RCO). However, while payment is flexible, the jurisdiction for processing the eCAR remains specific to the type of transaction.

📌 Sale of Real Property: The RDO with jurisdiction over the location of the property.

📌 Sale of Personal Property: The RDO with jurisdiction over the seller's registration OR the RDO of the seller's residence.
📌 Donations (Individual): The RDO with jurisdiction over the residence of the donor.
📌 Donations (Non-Individual): The RDO where the donor-corporation is registered.

Note: If the address on the submitted documents (e.g., Deed of Donation/Sale, Barangay Certificate) differs from the address in the BIR’s system (ITS/IRIS), the residential address in the BIR system prevails.

The taxpayer, however, may process the eCAR at the RDO having jurisdiction over their actual and current residence, provided that the residence information in the BIR system is updated to reflect the current address. The Client Support Section of the RDO with jurisdiction over the current address shall initiate the transfer or update of the registration information.

📌 Estate Tax: The RDO with jurisdiction over the TIN of the Estate.
Note: If the decedent had a registered business, it is the RDO of that business. If not, it is the RDO where the heirs intend to apply for the eCAR.

A decision issued in mid-December stemmed from a complaint filed by Jordan Banasen Sacpa on 11 July 2024, alleging violations of the Code of Ethics and Responsibilities for Real Estate Service Practitioners.

The Board found the respondents guilty of unethical conduct after they failed to return the complainant’s investment capital and promised returns. The case arose from a so-called “Real Estate Financial Literacy Program” or “Build-and-Sell Partnership Agreement” offered by the respondents through their company, Casa Infini.

Nanawagan si Greco Belgica na tuluyang buwagin ang pagbabayad ng real property tax o amilyar, iginiit na hindi makatarungan para sa mamamayan ang patuloy na paniningil ng gobyerno sa lupang kanila nang pagmamay-ari.

Ayon kay Belgica, hindi dapat obligahin ang mga may-ari ng lupa na magbayad taun-taon para sa isang ari-ariang legal na sa kanila, lalo na’t marami sa mga Pilipino ang hirap na hirap na sa gastusin sa araw-araw.
