REVENUE REGULATIONS NO. 4-2002 issued on April 5, 2002 amends the due dates
for the filing/issuance of certain BIR tax returns/forms, clarifies the form type to be used

The Monthly Percentage Tax Returns (BIR Form No. 2551M) shall be filed and
taxes due shall be paid not later than the 20th day following the end of each month.

120, 125, 126 and 127 of the Tax Code, they shall be filed within the periods stated in
those sections.
The Monthly VAT Declarations (BIR form No. 2550M) shall be accomplished
only for the first two (2) months of each taxable quarter, and shall be filed and taxes paid

To remit Percentage Tax and VAT withheld (whether creditable or final),
withholding agents shall file the Monthly Remittance Return of VAT and Other

using BIR Form No. 1600-WP.
With respect to VAT withheld on income payments made to non-residents, the
duly filed BIR Form No. 1600 and proof of payment thereof shall serve as sufficient basis
for the claim of input tax to be applied against the output tax that may be due from the

taxpayer, the passed-on VAT withheld shall form part of the cost of the service purchased
or treated as expense, whichever is applicable.

the deadline for e-filing of the aforementioned tax returns/forms and e-payment of taxes
