September 11, 2013 REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 061-13 SUBJECT : Prohibition on the Printing of Principal and Supplementary Receipts/Invoices by Non-Accredited/Unauthorized Printers TO : All Internal Revenue Officers and Others Concerned The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has been receiving complaints on the issuance of receipts/invoices printed by non-accredited/unauthorized printers. This Revenue Memorandum Circular is being issued in order to reiterate the implementation set forth under Revenue Regulations No. 15-2012 particularly the accreditation requirement as a prerequisite in printing services of principal and supplementary receipts/invoices. ISCDEA Thus, only printers who have undergone accreditation process and have been granted accreditation by the BIR are authorized to print principal and supplementary receipts/invoices. Further, issuing receipts/invoices printed by non-accredited/unauthorized printers is tantamount to issuance of invalid receipts/invoices, which are not allowed for input tax to be claimed by VAT taxpayers. A master list of accredited and authorized printers of principal and supplementary receipts/invoices with the BIR is available at the BIR website, www.bir.gov.ph . All internal revenue officers and employees are hereby enjoined to give this Revenue Memorandum Circular as wide a publicity as possible. (SGD.) KIM S. JACINTO-HENARES Commissioner of Internal Revenue
