2025 BIR Compliance for Philippine Companies

  • May 23, 2025

The Philippines has a new regulation from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). This is for companies to only use digital service providers (DSPs), in this case, Adobe, that comply with the regulations. The criteria is as follows:

  • Have a local presence/office in the Philippines, OR
  • As a non-resident digital service provider (DSP), be registered with the BIR for compliance.


Does Adobe check either?

Thanks.

Hi @menchie_0294,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Adobe has registered as a non-resident to collect VAT in the Philippines per the recent legislation in the country.


We hope this clarifies your query. Should you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.

That makes sense, especially with how strict compliance is getting in the Philippines now. I’ve noticed even for other official processes, proper documentation and verification are becoming more important step by step. It’s kind of similar to how background or identity checks (like NBI Clearance) are handled more carefully now. Good to see DSPs also aligning with these regulations

    Hello @Anshul_Nautiyal 

    Where can we request a copy of Adobe's BIR Certificate of Registration? We need to secure one in order for us to proceed with the renewal of our accounts.

    Hi @rarejob_1012,

     

    Adobe cannot directly provide a copy of the BIR Certificate of Registration, as it is issued by a government tax authority.

    To obtain a copy, we recommend contacting the reseller who managed your Adobe purchase or renewal. They will have the necessary documentation to help you.

    For extending or renewing your Adobe VIP membership, you can also contact your reseller.
    If you are the contract owner and need your reseller’s contact details, you can find them by navigating to the Accounts section in the Admin Console of your Adobe ID account.

     

    I hope this helps. 

     

    Thanks,
    ^BS
