In an era of online shopping, online booking, and many other things done online, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) continues to keep up, this time embracing online payment of taxes.
On March 28, the BIR published Revenue Regulations No. 3-2016 providing rules for the adoption of credit/debit/prepaid card payments as additional modes of paying taxes. Tax payments made through these alternative modes are made in real time or, to be exact, on the date and at the time indicated in the system-generated confirmation receipt issued by the bank/credit card company. You can therefore pay your taxes whenever and wherever you are.
