Multibook recently expanded to the Philippines having fully aligned with the Electronic Invoicing System (EIS) to help enhance tax compliance and streamline operational efficiency for local and international companies.
Given the integration of the current multibook system with the CAS and CBA requirements in the country, enhanced features are expected to be launched before the end of the year.
Understanding e-invoicing requirements
Large taxpayers, e-commerce businesses, and exporters have been mandated to issue electronic invoices and transmit sales data to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) within five years since the enactment of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law in 2018.
In June 2022, the BIR mandated e-invoicing and real-time or near-real-time electronic reporting of sales data within three days of the transaction after issuing Revenue Regulation No. 8-2022 as a response.
Further expansion of these requirements came with Revenue Regulation No. 11-2025, which was issued in February 2025. It extends the mandatory e-invoicing to CAS and CBA users, Point of Sale system users, and tax-incentivized registered business enterprises. A one-year transition period has been granted from the effective date of the regulation.
The registration process for CAS and CBA simplified after Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 5-2021 was issued in January 2021. System registration is mandatory, and post-evaluation may be conducted, however prior system approval and pre-assessment are no longer required.
Regulatory-ready solutions for BIR compliance
multibook is a BIR-approved system with proven CAS and CBA compliance experience, support for standard accounting processes across various client companies. Other key components include displaying the business name and VAT-registered TIN number on invoice and ledger headers, as well as generating specialized journals (such as sales and purchases) in addition to the general journal and general ledger.
The system offers the following core features to support compliance and operations:
- Direct system connection with BIR EIS for sales data transmission: To meet BIR’s real-time or near-real-time requirement (within three days of the transaction), Multibook is developing a direct system link (API) to EIS, targeted for early November 2025.
- End-to-end billing support in the Philippines: The system already supports invoice email delivery to customers and is developing an extended solution for Form 2307 workflows, along with a direct connection to the EIS system, to streamline billing operations.
Multibook empowers all enterprises operating in the Philippines to meet BIR’s CAS and EIS requirements effectively with its comprehensive features. By adapting to these digital tax reforms, they remain committed to supporting the digital transformation of finance and accounting operations in the region.
