Individual traders, freelancers and micro-enterprises in the Philippines register a business name with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). While simpler than a corporation, even sole proprietors who cross the PHP 3 million VAT threshold must enrol in EIS and transmit tax invoices electronically to BIR.
The sole trader assumes that DTI registration means no real invoicing formality — until BIR flags the missing EIS enrolment after VAT registration.
Clear VAT threshold monitoring and a simple EIS onboarding path calibrated for sole traders, without the overhead of a full enterprise setup.
Tracking cumulative gross sales manually to identify when the PHP 3 million VAT threshold is approaching is error-prone and risky.
Automatic year-to-date turnover tracking with a threshold alert dispatched via SMS and email before the registration deadline.
EIS invoicing and compliance alerts built for sole traders.
