prescribes the work-around procedures in the accreditation of printers as a prerequisite to the
printing of official receipts (ORs), sales invoices (SIs) and other commercial receipts and/or
invoices.
All registered printers in the Integrated Tax Systems (ITS) who applied for accreditation

website as “Deemed Accredited Printers”. A Provisional Accreditation Number with validity
period of six (6) months from posting in the BIR website shall be issued to all “Deemed
Accredited Printers”.
A Certificate of Accreditation with Permanent Accreditation Number shall be issued to
the printer only after evaluation and approval by the National/Regional Accreditation Board
(N/RAB). The Accredited Printers with Certificate of Accreditation shall cease using the
assigned Provisional Accreditation Number. Henceforth, the Permanent Accreditation Number
shall be used in the printing of ORs, SIs and other commercial receipts and/or invoices.
The “Deemed Accredited Printers”, which were issued Revocation Notices upon
notification, shall not be allowed to apply for Authority to Print Receipt and Invoices. However,
all receipts and invoices printed by these printers shall remain valid until its expiration or until its
full utilization, whichever comes first.

accredited shall observe the same procedures as a new application for accreditation and shall
undergo the same accreditation process.
