2. Fill out form 0605 and click validate to check if you missed answering any required item.

3. Once everything is validated, you can now click submit, and you will see a pop-up saying a confirmation email will be sent to your email address.

4. Print 3 to 4 copies of form 0605 if you will be paying the registration fee in an authorized bank.

Print BIR Email Confirmation

After submitting the form 0605, wait for the confirmation email coming from ebirforms-noreply@bir.gov.ph. You can usually get this confirmation email within two hours upon submitting the form online. Print 3 to 4 copies of this together with the form 0605. Usually, 3 copies are enough, but other payment facilities require 4 copies.

Pay at your Any Preferred Payment Facility

You can pay the Php 500 annual registration fee in an Authorized Agent Bank / Collection Agent / GCASH or use other payment options. By the way, an authorized agent bank is any authorized bank in the jurisdiction of your RDO. You can check here if your bank is an authorized agent bank of your RDO.

Pay BIR Annual Registration Fee via GCash

If you are looking for a convenient way to pay your taxes, then GCash is the option you might consider. You can now pay it with just a click of your fingers.

So here’s how you can pay the BIR annual registration fee via GCash:

1. Launch your GCash App

2. Choose Government

3. Click BIR

4. Fill out the form and then proceed to confirmation.

Return period is the last day of the type of tax you are paying. Because this is for the annual registration fee then the rerun period is December 31 of the current year.

Branch code is the last 3 to 5 digits of your TIN. If you’re TIN is 123-456-789-000 then your branch code is “000.” Put two additional zeroes in front if needed for GCash payment.

That’s it, and you’re done. You don’t have to print anything nor go to any accredited agent, thus, saving you time.

Final Thoughts

At first, you might be overwhelmed by all the things you need to do. But don’t you like the convenience of settling your due from the comfort of your home? Goodbye, long lines, and commute going to your RDO to renew your registration. I hope you learned from this and use it in renewing your certificate of registration. If you have anything to share, please let me know.
