Hello, April! April is also one of the busiest months here at the Taxumo Headquarters. And, you probably know the reason why… it’s because everyone’s thinking about their ITR.Β
Β
Everyone’s scrambling and asking us how to prepare, file and pay for their Annual Income Tax.Β With this, to help you understand the 101s on filing your Annual Income Tax Return, we created this guide.
What is the Annual Income Tax Return or ITR for?
The Income Tax Return or ITR that most people refer to is actually the annual tax form that individuals file every April 15th of the following year. This form summarizes all of the income (or loss) you have incurred for the past year.
Β
With the new Tax Reform Laws (TRAIN), there are now 3 types of forms available for you to file your annual ITR.Β Note that all these forms are NEW FORMS that were just recently launched.
- Form 1700Β β Please use this form if you haveΒ no other sources of incomeΒ other than employment income. With this form, you’ll need to add all employment income and deduct all payroll taxes withheld by your employer(s) and pay the remaining tax due (if any).Β Since this is used by individuals who had two or more employers within a year, they are no longer qualified for substituted filing (substituted filing means that the employer files taxes on your behalf).
- Form 1701Β β Use this ITR form if 1) you are a mixed-income individual, meaning you are an employee AND also earning income from a business or side profession (ex. consultancy work, freelance writer, etc.) or 2) if you’ve chosen Graduated Tax rate with an Itemized Deduction Method
- Form 1701AΒ βUse this form if you are earning purely business income or income from your profession. This is a new form released by the BIR for those who chose the Optional Standard Deduction Method (OSD) or opted in for 8% GRT in the previous year.
You can also refer to this handy flowchart that we made:
* Note: The Annual Income Tax Return (regardless of form) is just one of a series of quarterly tax forms you have to file. It is highly recommended that you also make sure you file yourΒ Quarterly Income Tax FormsΒ aside from your Annual. You can read more about how to do so via TaxumoΒ here.

Iβm earning less than β±250,000 annually
Under the newΒ TRAIN law, those who earn less than β±250,000 annually are exempt from paying income tax returns.Β So if you fall under this bracket, you donβt have to pay your annual ITR βΒ BUT you still have to file.
My annual income is more than β±250,000
The TRAIN law gives you two options for filing and computing your taxes. You can either follow the 3% percentage + income tax (use the graduated income tax table) or use the new 8% Gross Receipt Tax.
Β
Now, the 8% Gross Receipt Tax might sound easier for you, but keep in mind that itβs not for everyone. To know if youβre making the right choice,Β check out this tax calculator that we made for you.
If you decide to use the 8% Flat tax rate, you can use the 1701A form in Taxumo.
How to compute your Annual Income Tax or ITR dues
Before you begin, youβll need to check whether youβre on the 8% Income Tax Rate or the Graduated Income Tax Rate. The easiest way to do this is to check your Certificate of Registration from the BIR. This will indicate which tax schedule youβre on.
Iβm on the 8% Income Tax Rate
- Income Solely from Business / Profession
Total Income Tax Due = 0.08 * (Gross Sales - β±250,000)- Mixed Income Earner
Total Income Tax Due = (0.08 * Gross Sales) + Tax Due on CompensationAs you can see, the β±250,000 deduction is NOT applied for Mixed-Income Earners. The reason for this is because the β±250,000 has already been deducted from the tax due based on compensation so it no longer applies to the tax from your business.
Iβm on the Graduated Income Tax Rate
If youβre on the Graduated Income Tax Rate, youβll need to check first whether youβre onΒ Itemized Deduction or Optional Standard Deduction (OSD).
Β
Hereβs the difference between the two if youβre confused:
-
OSD:Β This allows you to claim a deduction of 40% from your gross sales or receipts for the quarter.
-
Itemized Deduction:Β You have to identify and deduct all the ordinary and necessary expenses from your gross income. These expenses must attribute to the development, management, and operation of your business like travel and salaries.
Take note that neither of these options is available for you if you opt for the 8% IT rate.
Β
Now, both of the deductions have different formulas for computing your taxable income so check your Certificate of Registration to confirm which one applies to you.
Β
With that being said, calculating your tax payable for Graduated Income Tax Rate takes two steps:
-
-
-
Compute your taxable income.
-
Based on the taxable income, refer to the tax table for how much tax youβll need to pay.
-
-
Formulas for Taxable Income
- Itemized Deduction
Taxable Income = Gross Sales - Gross Purchases- Optional Standard Deduction
Taxable Income = Gross Sales * 60%
Computing for Tax Payable
After calculating your taxable income, you will need to refer to the tax table below for your tax dues.
Β Did you know that you can use Taxumo to automatically calculate your tax dues already? No need for you to compute manually. Sign up for FREE here to learn how.
Deadlines for filing BIR Form 1701, 1701A and 1700
Β
We do recommend that you file your annual ITR as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen problems.
What are the attachments required for filing ITR?
Here are the documents youβll need to prepare:
-
- Certificate of Income Tax Withheld at Source (BIR Form 2307), if applicable.
- Certificate of Income Payments not Subjected to Withholding Tax (BIR Form 2304) if applicable.
- Duly approved Tax Debit Memo, if applicable.
- Previously filed return, if an amended return is filed for the same quarter.
Do I need to have a COR before I can use Taxumo?
Taxumo does not require you to upload your COR.Β This means you can already start filing even without your COR on hand.
When can I start using Taxumo for 1701 / 1701A / 1700 Forms?
1701AΒ and 1701 forms are in the system already.
For 1700, you may email customercare@taxumo.comΒ to request for this service. Kindly indicateΒ 1700 Taxumo ServiceΒ as the subject of your email.
How do I fill out the Fields in Taxumo for these forms?
Make sure that you have created an account in Taxumo. Uploading of the Certificate of Registration and the Signature is not necessary. What is necessary though is for you to have a subscription with Taxumo. Check out our plans and inclusions here:Β https://taxumo.com/pricing
Β
For those who are new to Taxumo, make sure the you encoded the income and expenses for Quarter 4 of last year. Don’t worry, the form will ask you for income and expenses prior to that, too, if you don’t want to encode each and every entry in Taxumo.
Β
If you have been a customer of Taxumo since the time you started your business, then you’ll have the details automatically shown in the Annual Income Tax form. If you just shifted or will shiftΒ to Taxumo, have your past Quarterly Income tax forms by by your side as you fill out the form.
Do I need to fill out the form in eBIR Forms?
If you use Taxumo, no need to fill out the forms in eBIR Forms. You will be able to access your BIR confirmation in your past filings tab. You will also be able to pay for your taxes using the different payment channels that we have provided. You can then access the copy of your payment record in your past filings tab.
Β
Β Β
Β So again, these are the things that you can download and keep a copy of which you can get from your TAX DUES > PAST FILINGS Tab:
- Copy of your filled out tax form (1701A or 1701)
- Copy of your BIR Confirmation
- Copy of your payment record (if you had tax dues to pay for 1701A or 1701
Do I need to have the form stamped?
It is not required (if you are not submitting an Audited Financial Statement or AFS) along with your forms. However, if you really really want to have a “Stamped Form”, print out a copy of these forms:
-
Copy of your filled out tax form (1701A or 1701)
-
Copy of your BIR Confirmation
-
Copy of your payment record (if you had tax dues to pay for 1701A or 1701
-
Request for the SAWT confirmation (from Taxumo) via customercare@taxumo.com and print it out
-
Collate all 2307 or Creditable withheld tax certificates that you have received
How much is Taxumo's ITR Preparation service?
- For 1700:Β The service fee is Php2,000 (VAT-inclusive). This covers computation, filing, and remittance of your tax dues (if any). Get your quote and assistance in filing here.
- For 1701A and 1700:Β Preparation, filing and payment is included in all subscription plan.
When do I get a BIR Confirmation?
You will get a BIR Confirmation one week after the Taxumo filing deadlines. ReadΒ HEREΒ for more information about the confirmation that you will receive. Note that for “peak seasons” for tax filing, the BIR may send us delayed confirmations, but rest assured that Taxumo will always help follow this up with them. We go the extra mile for our subscribers!
Here are the Taxumo deadlines you have to take note of:
-
1701 and 1701A – Taxumo’s deadline is on April 11, 2024
-
1700 – Taxumo’s deadline for submission of requests and payments is on April 11, 2024
To be clear, youΒ can still file AFTER these datesΒ — penalty calculations of the BIR will be included though as Taxumo will assume the filing will happen after the April 15 deadline of the BIR.
When I use Taxumo for filing and paying for my 1701 and 1701A, when do I know that Taxumo has submitted or filed my form to the BIR?
After you have submitted your tax form via Taxumo, you will see the form’s progress in the “Past Filings” tab. This is where you will get the BIR Email Confirmation and the Payment record.
Β
The status will be “Completed” within a week after the Taxumo deadline of filing. We highly encourage you to FILE EARLY.

Hello Taxumo Team!
I hope you are doing well and safe.
If we choose to avail the “Portion of Tax Payable Allowed for Installment” option when filing the 1701A form, how do we pay for the second installment, or what form should we use?
Thank you for your time.

If i’m a freelancer/self employed now but employed Q1 earlier this year, am I considered mixed income earner?
Yes, when you file for your 2021 Annual ITR you need to indicate that you are a mixed-income earner. Then for 2022, you may file as purely earning from business/profession.

Hello Taxumo, I came across with your blog. I am earning 250k below. I’ve read about being exempted for paying the 8% tax but need to file my itr. My question are 1. How to file ? it is ive scanned the forms and I’m overwhelmed with all of it. 2. Do I need to pay penalties since i am already late with the deadline.
Thank you so much for the time.
Hello Princess,
Good day!
May we ask if you’re already registered in BIR and have a form 2303? If not yet, then that is the first step that you should do so you’ll know what forms are you required to file and how often should you file it.
If you are already registered, all you have to do in Taxumo is to set up an account and input your Taxpayer’s Details including the Business Profile for the year your are filing for on the SETTINGS and the platform will automatically fill-out your form for you.Β
With this, you will be selecting the tax forms that you intend to file for each year.Β
Then you can input the Income and Expenses for the period you intend to file taxes for on CASH FLOW. You can also upload any 2307s issued to you if you have them.Β
Then you can go to TAX DUES>Current Filings and find the tax card you intend to file. Each tax card will show you the tax due and the penalty computation for late filings. You can click “File Now” and pay through the payment channels you can choose from. π
For the penalty inquiry, please note that our tax obligation starts upon our registration with BIR. If you are not yet registered, then you do not need to worry about the filings that you are unable to comply prior your official registration date. But we highly recommend that you register now as there is a possibility of having penalties for late registration. π

Hello. This is more of a consultation hope you can still assist. Back in 2022, mid-year I was transferred from Company A to a sister company Company B. Last year, I was told by HR that we would be filing Form 1700 instead of 2316 due to the movement but since it was considered an internal transfer, they offered to file it for me. A few days later I received an email confirmation from BIR and HR sent me a copy of the 1700 form that they submitted.
Fast forward to today, I was reviewing my 1700 from 2022 and noticed that there is a 1 peso payable! Turns out this can happen as the 1700 has a rounding mechanic which doesn’t allow for centavo inputs and asks you to round it up or down. I didn’t check it anymore last year as I had already reviewed the 2316 forms and the 1700 was sent to me after it had already been filed. HR also didn’t mention anything when they sent the file.
Technically the full correct amount was paid/withheld down to the centavos as can be seen in the 2316 forms. But this 1 peso payable exists in the 1700 due to the rounding mechanic. Any thoughts on what I should do (if any)? I assume this happens to a lot to people who file using 1700. Many thanks!
Hello Lenny,
To ensure accuracy and compliance, you may consider the following steps:
Consult HR or a Tax Professional: Reach out to your HR department or consult with a tax professional to confirm whether action is necessary. They can provide guidance on whether this discrepancy needs to be addressed formally with the BIR.
Review BIR Guidelines: Check the BIR guidelines or regulations regarding rounding mechanics for tax filings. This will help you understand if the one-peso discrepancy is a common occurrence and if there are any specific procedures to rectify it.
Assess Impact: Determine if the one-peso discrepancy has any practical implications. If the correct amount was indeed paid and withheld, and this discrepancy is merely a result of rounding mechanics, it may not warrant any action.
Documentation: Keep documentation of your review process and any correspondence with HR or tax professionals regarding this matter. This will serve as evidence of your diligence in addressing the discrepancy, if ever questioned in the future.
Optional: Inform HR: While not necessarily required, you may choose to inform HR of the discrepancy for their records. They may appreciate the notification and may have internal procedures for handling such cases.
Overall, given the minor nature of the discrepancy and the fact that the correct amount was paid and withheld, it’s unlikely to have significant repercussions. However, consulting with HR or a tax professional can provide peace of mind and ensure full compliance with tax regulations.

Hi!
Just wanna ask, we’re trying to file 1701A, and when we submitted the physical documents to BIR, they were asking for a confirmation sheet. Where are we supposed to get this? For context, this is a delayed filing with penalty. We cannot pay because the confirmation is missing.
I hope you can help! BIR employees aren’t of any assistance, and we’ve been going back and forth because of them.
Thanks!
Hello Chi,
If you filed your form 1701A online and is trying to pay the tax dues and penalty fee via your RDO, you should have a BIR confirmation email sent to your email for the filed form 1701A. Then once you already have your form and email confirmation from your online filing, that is the time that you can pay for your tax dues and penalty fee via the Authorized Agent Banks or the ePay Payment Facilities of BIR. π

Hi!
I am a BIR registered Professional. However, last few years, I have no earnings from Professional Fee but my earnings come solely from employment.
What BIR annual form shall I use? I only have one employer. Shall I use 1701 and just put in zero for professional income?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Hi Lei! Even if you have no earnings, you will still need to file your income tax on a quarterly basis. For the form to be used, if you missed filing quarterly forms, kindly file these and pay the penalties and compromise fees and use Form 1701 and yes, just place zero as your professional income.

good afternoon sir/maam:
may i ask, what is SAWT VALIDATION from BIR? And further said that, “please be guided that the generated/dat file should be attached. please delete all special characters in your data.” Before this, we have the Tax Receipt Confirmation- submitted 1701A(2 pages) and 4-2307 forms as attachments as Consultant. We have overpaymnt of taxes due-p38,500-p48t=(p9,5000). Do we have to submit the docs at the RD concern? We tried to submit the docs, BIR said its lacking example alphalist etc. Please send us the opinions/advices. THANK U & MORE POWER.
Hi Leno! As an attachment to your ITR filing, you will need to submit an SAWT .dat file to the BIR if you had 2307 forms declared in the computation of your income tax return. You will need to edit your file and follow the instructions indicated and resubmit.
This is one of the advantages of using Taxumo. That file is submitted to BIR already together with your income tax filing and you will receive the validation via your Taxumo account. Join Taxumo’s FREE onboarding or tutorial session to learn more. π
