For large taxpayers tapped by the BIR to make the shift to digital systems understanding and complying with the BIR guidelines is vital. This overview covers the initial application and the processes of system enhancement or modification, providing clarity on the necessary documents and procedures.

Initial Application to Adopt CAS

Kickstarting the process involves completing the BIR Form 1900 or the BIR Form 1907, depending on the nature of your business operations. The company profile requirements contain essential documents such as the BIR Certificate of Registration, previously issued permits, current registration fee payment, location map, inventory of unused invoices and receipts, and a list of branches intending to use CAS. Part of this step is to gather all the technical requirements. These should include the following:

• Application name
• Software used
• Functions
• Features
• System flow
• Process flow
• Backup procedures
• Disaster and recovery plans
• Sworn statements
• Proof of system ownership
• The types of reports and correspondences that the system can generate.

Application For System Enhancement

If you’ve already undergone approval but want to make some changes to your system. You also need to submit this to BIR CAS under the system enhancement application. For this, businesses need to submit a photocopy of the previously issued Permit to Adopt CAS or components thereof. Additionally, a detailed letter to the BIR outlining the enhancement or modification of the system is required. This letter should provide comprehensive information about the changes, including the application name, software used, functions, features, system flow, process flow, backup procedures, disaster and recovery plans, sworn statements, proof of system ownership, and a list of reports and correspondences with descriptions, purposes, and sample layouts.
