BIR tax help for small shops: your figures, ready for your accountant

Ember POS already knows your sales, refunds, voids and costs. The BIR tax page in the Back Office (emberpos.net/office, under Money) turns them into estimates of your quarterly returns, so your accountant does not start from zero.

What it works out

Estimates of the 3% percentage tax (2551Q), quarterly income tax (1701Q) under the 8% option or the graduated rates, the quarterly VAT return (2550Q) for VAT shops, and the annual 1701A.
Each form box by box: which number goes in which numbered item, with steps to file in eBIRForms and the BIR's payment channels.
Filing deadlines, moved off weekends and holidays the way the BIR does, with a reminder on the Back Office home page when one is two weeks away.

Checks before an audit

Missing or repeated invoice numbers, voids and refunds well above your usual, a sharp drop in sales, sales declared well below what your POS recorded, unregistered books, and how close you are to the ₱3,000,000 VAT threshold.

Books of accounts

Prints the sales journal, cash receipts journal, cash disbursements journal and general journal on numbered pages with your name and TIN, ready to bind and register in ORUS. Each also downloads as a spreadsheet.

What it does not do

Ember files nothing with the BIR, and every figure is an estimate to confirm with your accountant. Ember POS is not a BIR-accredited cash register or POS. Many small shops use it to run the shop and keep their BIR-registered receipt booklet; ask your accountant what your registration needs.
