When it comes to paying taxes in the Philippines, MyEG is often one of the first platforms people think of. It’s known for offering a quick and easy way to settle government fees, including BIR tax payments online.
But here’s something many taxpayers may not realize:
MyEG only helps with the payment part. It doesn’t compute your taxes or fill out the correct BIR forms for you.
That’s where Taxumo comes in.
This guide shows how you can:
- Use Taxumo to prepare and file your taxes, and then
- Pay through MyEG (or other platforms like GCash, Maya, or even banks)
Let’s break it down
What Is MyEG?
MyEG is a handy online platform that lets you pay for government services like SSS, PhilHealth, and BIR taxes. It’s perfect if you already know exactly how much you need to pay.
But here’s the thing:
MyEG is an e-government service provider that allows you to pay for things like SSS, PhilHealth, and BIR tax dues. These platforms are great for making quick payments, but only if you already know how much you need to pay. They aren’t built to compute your taxes, help you pick the right forms, or remind you of deadlines, so you’ll need to figure those out:
- How much tax you need to pay
- What BIR form to file
- When the tax deadline is
If you’re not quite sure how much you owe or which form to use, a payment portal like MyEG might not be enough. That’s where Taxumo can help. You can use it to prepare and file your taxes, then pay through MyEG, or just do everything in one place with Taxumo, from start to finish.
Option 1: Prep and File with Taxumo, Then Pay via MyEG
If you prefer to use MyEG as your payment channel but want help computing your taxes and generating the correct forms, this setup is for you:
Step 1: Sign up at www.taxumo.com and choose your taxpayer profile.
Make sure to have your taxpayer details complete on our settings
Step 2: Enter your income and expenses. Taxumo will compute your tax dues and generate the right forms for you.
Step 3: Review and file the form via Taxumo. It will be submitted to the BIR.
Step 4: Select “Prep+File” option in Taxumo.
Step 5: Pay your tax dues through MyEG by entering the details from your BIR form.
📝 Tip: MyEG is handy for paying, but it won’t tell you how much to pay or which form to file. Using Taxumo to prepare and file first helps you avoid mistakes and missed deadlines.
