How To Get and Issue an Official Receipt for Non VAT Taxpayers

One of our responsibilities as an Engoo Tutor is Tax Compliance. As a registered professional it is our prime responsibility to adhere to tax laws, memorandum, circulars and new policies. 

Issuance of Official Receipt is one of those important things that a tutor must comply. Every pay day, we are required to issue Engoo the receipt especially if we have availed the 0% tax. 

For newly accepted tutors and who are not registered in the BIR, you can include the request for an Official Receipt together with your Application for Registration (COR and SD), here's the link how: https://youtu.be/TrmQ3Z15-l0 

By the way, here's how to register for an Official Receipt:

• Fill-out  three (3) copies of form 1906 or the Application for Authority to Print (ATP) Receipts and Invoices. Also, bring a copy of your COR or BIR form 2303 and 0605.
• Submit them to your RDO and you have to wait up to two (2) weeks for the ATP to be released.
• If you already have the ATP, look for a BIR accredited printing press to arrange the printing of your Official Receipt. 
• It may take Ten (10) to Fifteen (15) working days for the release of your receipt. You can request for it to be rushed because you have a deadline to comply. 

Here's my filled-out official receipt as a sample and for your perusal. This is how you fill out your official receipt as a Non VAT Taxpayer.

I actually made a detailed video discussion about how to get and issue an official receipt.

How To Acquire COR and SD | How To Avail 0% Tax

One of our responsibilities as ESL Tutors is Tax Compliance. However, some of us are hesitant to register and comply because of the tedious process of registration, filing and payment.

Actually it's really challenging to file for registration at first. The first year is going to be hard because you need to learn and undergo the laborious process plus the difficulty of understanding tax and accounting parlance, unless you pay for an accountant or bookkeeper to work for you. But, the next years are going to be a piece of cake and that's a guarantee. 

Alright, to make it simple and easy, let's focus on two things first - COR and SD. These are the documents you need to process especially if you want to avail the 0% withholding tax. Here are the sample copies of the documents for your reference:

By the way, I made a video how to acquire and process the Certificate of Registration (COR) and Notarized Sworn Declaration (SD) of Gross Receipts/Sales. Please watch the video here:

Disclaimer: I'm not working in the BIR and also not providing accounting, bookkeeping or tax services. What I shared in this video is my own personal experiences when I applied as a professional to the BIR and followed the steps in acquiring the COR and SD. The video is for training purpose only. Any conflict between this video with Revenue Regulations, Memorandum Circulars, Tax Advisories and the TRAIN Law (R.A. 10963), the latter shall prevail.

ENGOO ACTUAL LESSONS

The first is always the hardest. True enough! One of my struggles in the ESL platform is to look for modeling and actual scenarios to emulate as a guide. However, it's not that easy to find one. So, I crossed the bridge and learned things the challenging way. I just let every moment of fright, heaviness, excitement and fun boiled down to one thing- "Experience". Indeed, it was nerve rocking and fun.

In my desire to help aspiring tutors, I made these videos to help ease the experience. Watching actual lessons can really help us as we enter new endeavors like in the ESL platform.
