Operations — VAT 12 %, EIS, Payroll, BIR Filings

Running a Philippine company means filing a monthly VAT return (Form 2550M) via BIR eFPS, transmitting every invoice through EIS, processing payroll against three separate statutory agencies (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) and — for BPO operators — issuing zero-rated export service invoices in USD or EUR. This cluster covers each operational requirement; filings and remittances are made in the official portals.
