About the Writer
Hey, I’m Lyza! I once was a person who just imagined going to places “one day” but decided to pursue my dreams. My first travel abroad was in Japan, solo, last 2018, and fell in love with the journey since. I’m aiming to visit 10 countries before turning 30 and 2 new places in the Philippines every year. Besides traveling, I love organizing trips, photography, reading, and making new friends. Follow my adventures through my Instagram.
I have already filled out my form 2551Q, paid the corresponding tax via BPI. I have already printed out the accomplished BIR form, printed the Tax Return Receipt Confirmation email and the tax payment receipt from Landbank. Where should I submit these documents?
Thank you.
Nearest BIR Office. You can check if they have on in your Municipal or City Hall.
Hi. What if I misplaced my receipt of payment what will I do?
Hello, Ms. Lyza! Can you please give an example on what date to put for the Return Period for Form 2551Q. This will be my first time paying online for my taxes and I badly need some information. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!
pls ask dbp pay tax to update their forms to include form 1601-eq. thanks.
Hi Lyza. I’m an individual tax payer and have no business. I did try to use the DBP tax online payment using my credit card but I didn’t get a confirmation, nor a text or email for the payment. Apparently it has been deducted to my credit card account. What to do?
Try communicating with DBP if they can provide you with a receipt. You can also try to screenshot your credit if the BIR accepts it.
After paying online, how do you file the return form to BIR?
Some BIR offices will need you to present your payment as well as your returns to their office. You can call the BIR office in your town on what’s their procedure.
