REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 22-2015 issued on April 28, 2015 provides alternative modes in the filing of BIR Form Nos. 1601-C and 1601-E using the electronic platforms of the BIR.
   The Circular does not cover taxpayers who are not mandated to use Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS)/Electronic BIR Forms (eBIRForms) and who have not opted to file electronically, and thus, the existing procedures on manual filing shall apply insofar as they are concerned.
    Taxpayers filing with payment or no payment using the Offline eBIRForms of the said forms shall follow the procedures in Annex D of RMC No. 14-2015 and efiled by attaching xml file to e-mail.
   Taxpayers mandated to use eFPS (e.g. TAMP) after several attempts of unsuccessful efiling, must print evidence/proof thereof (print screen with the message as given by the system). Thereafter, they should manually file and manually pay, following the existing procedures on or before the due dates of the respective returns and attach the proof of unsuccessful eFPS attempts, then, re-file electronically not later than 30 days from the deadline.
   To protect them for penalties to be imposed in the future, they should report/call BIR Help Desk report or BIR Contact Center (981-8888) and get the Trouble Ticket Log or Reference Number of their call.
