The aforementioned standard taxpayer type classifications and its corresponding codes
shall be uniformly used by all district offices and other concerned offices in classifying
taxpayers/new registrants and their corresponding taxes to avoid inconsistencies in the registration
reports.
There should be one taxpayer type CLASSIFICATION per taxpayer by choosing the
taxpayer’s main line of business/profession as the criteria for classification. For cases with multiple
line of businesses/profession, Client Support Section is required to indicate applicable 2009 PSIC/
2012 PSOC as many as appropriate.
Passive Income Earners are those active individual taxpayers who are no longer engaged
in trade or business with no outstanding tax liabilities or no longer employed (e.g. retired, persons
with disabilities, pensioner) without business income but receiving passive income only from
sources within or without the Philippines.
“Passive Income Earner Only” is available in the update of taxpayer type classification for
those existing taxpayers only and cannot be used as classification during initial registration with
the Bureau. Therefore, no new taxpayers shall be registered under this classification.
In the case of tax type classifications, the same codes shall be used for system generated
report purposes. Any modification/addition in classification shall be covered by a separate RMO.
Revenue District Office’s (RDO) frontliners should strictly follow Section II and III of this
Order in classifying the correct taxpayer type of the taxpayers. The Client Support Service shall
monitor and recommend to the Internal Investigation Division the following penalties to RDOs
who fail to comply with the provisions of this Order:
1
st offense: Warning
2
nd offense: Reprimand
3
rd offense: Suspension for 30 days
This Order shall take effect immediately to RDOs under eTIS and upon implementation of
Taxpayer Registration Information Update. Pending the eTIS rollout to other RDOs, the policies
and procedures set forth under RMO No. 11–2004 shall still be observed in the meantime.
