RMC No. 77 2024
RMC No. 77 2024
Republic Act (RA) No. 11976, otherwise known as the "Ease of .Paying . Ta~es
(EOPT) Act", was signed into law and took effect·on January 22, 2024, after its pubhcat1on
in the Official Gazette. One of the key reforms introduced by the EOPT Act is the change
in the use of Sales Invoices and Official Receipts for tax purposes. Sections 113 and 237 of
the said Act provide:
Based on the foregoing provisions, an "Invoice" is now required to be issued for both
sales of goods and services. In view of this, this Circular is being issued to clarify the
invoicing requirements under the EOPT Act, the use and printing of Sales Invoice and to
provide a sample format of Invoices to be used as reference by taxpayers and concerned
BIR personnel.

Q3 Does a seller need to issue an Invoice If the sale amount of a single transaction is
less than PS00.00?
A3 The following rules shall be observed:
a. For VAT-registered sellers, the issuance of VAT Invoice for each sale transaction
is required, regardless of the amount of transaction.
b. For Non-VAT registered sellers, an invoice shall be issued in the following cases:
iii. If at the end of the day, the aggregate amount of all sales transactions
amounting to less than PS00.00 exceeded the PS00.00 threshold.
QS The seller is engaged in sale of service. After the effectivity of the EOPT Act, does
the seller need to apply for a new Authority to Print (ATP) Invoice and issue an
Invoice?
AS YES, since the Invoice is now the primary evidence for recording sales of goods and
services. For this purpose, an ATP must be secured before a seller can have an
Accredited Printer print an Invoice. However, during the transitory period, sellers may
opt to use their remaining unused Official Receipts by converting them into Invoice
following the options in Question No. 10 and Question No. 21 hereof.
Q8 While the EOPT Act eliminates the Official Receipts as evidence of sales of goods
and services for tax purposes, can sellers still validly use and issue their
remaining unused booklets of Official Receipts?
AS Upon effectivity of RR No. 7-2024, Official Receipt is treated as a supplementary
document. Taxpayers, however have the following options on the remaining unused
Official Receipts:
Opti~n 2: C~nvert a~d use the remaining Official Receipts as Invoice following the
requirements m Question No. 1Oand Question No. 21 hereof.

official website are no longer required to resubmit the inventory report using the
format outlined in Annex C or D of this Circular.
