Required format for CRM/POS receipts: Clarifications and deadline (Revenue Regulations Nos. 10 and 12- 2015, Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 64-2015)

In Revenue Regulations No. 10-2015, the BIR prescribed an expanded list of information to be indicated in the receipts/invoices issued form CRM/POS machines as well as electronic receipts issued from a network or linked to CAS or components.  The required information include:

a. a space for the name address, TIN and business style of the buyer/customer; 

b. information about the BIR-accredited supplier of CRM/POS machine/software and the BIR Final Permit to Use, at the bottom portion of the receipt; and

c. Senior Citizen/PWD TIN, discount and signature, in case taxpayer is required to provide discounts to SC/PWD.

Clarifications

In RMC 64, the BIR reiterated and clarified the following existing rules:

1. Only sales made to VAT-registered persons amounting to at least P1,000 are required to have the name, address, TIN and business style of the buyer/customer  indicated in the VAT receipts/invoices.  Hence, receipts/invoices issued from CRM/POS machines issued to non-VAT buyers as well as on sales of less than P1,000 to VAT-registered buyers are still not required to indicate the information about the buyer/customer.

2. If the CRM/POS machine is not capable of showing such details about the buyer, a manually pre-printed receipt/invoice with approved Authority to Print (ATP) must be issued to the buyer/customer based on the existing regulations of the Bureau.

3. Receipts/Invoices generated from CRM/POS machines/software  are mandated to show the said requisites for the valid claim of input tax credits by the VAT-registered buyer.

Extended deadline

In order to provide ample time in procuring, reconfiguring machines and systems, the deadline for compliance has been extended to October 31, 2015.
