What is BIR CAS and EIS?
BIR CAS (Bureau of Internal Revenue Computerized Accounting System)
BIR CAS refers to the integration of various component systems to create computerized books of accounts and computer-generated accounting records and documents. BIR CAS is a requirement for businesses in the Philippines under section 232 of the Tax Code and Revenue Regulations No. 5-2014, which mandates that taxpayers who wish to issue electronic invoices should first register with the BIR and obtain authority to use a computerized accounting system.
A BIR-registered taxpayer using a CAS should be able to generate accurate, secure, and functional financial information to support its business and tax-related transactions. In addition, BIR requires taxpayers to keep records and books of accounts for the prescribed retention period (generally, six years from the date of filing of the return or payment of the tax due). Failure to comply with these requirements may result in penalties and possible legal action from the BIR.
Overall, BIR CAS is a requirement for businesses in the Philippines that wish to issue electronic invoices while also ensuring accurate and compliant financial record-keeping and reporting.

EIS (Electronic Invoicing Receipting System)
An Electronic Invoicing Receipting System (EIS) is a digital system that facilitates the creation, transmission, and storage of sales documents such as invoices and receipts. EIS offers considerable advantages such as improved efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings for both sellers and their customers. By digitizing data and automating processes, EIS substantially reduces the manual effort required for document generation, submission, and storage, thus improving data quality and accuracy. EIS is becoming more important for businesses in the Philippines with the implementation of the E-Invoicing mandate which requires BIR-registered taxpayers to issue e-invoicing receipts (EIRs) starting November 2021. The E-Invoicing mandate aims to automate and streamline the invoicing process and reduce bureaucratic delays. In conclusion, the EIS is a cloud-based solution that digitalizes sales systems, simplifies invoice and receipting processes, and improves overall business efficiency and compliance.
The BIR CAS and EIS requirements are implemented by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in the Philippines for several reasons:
1. Streamlining Processes: Implementing these requirements helps to streamline and automate the invoicing and accounting processes. With a computerized accounting system and electronic invoicing/ receipting system, businesses can generate, transmit, and store sales documents more efficiently, reducing manual effort, and minimizing errors in the process.
2. Compliance and Standardization: By mandating the use of BIR CAS and EIS, the BIR ensures that businesses maintain accurate and compliant financial records. Standardizing the accounting systems and invoicing practices helps improve transparency, prevent fraud, and facilitate easier auditing and monitoring by the BIR.
3. Increased Efficiency: Adopting computerized accounting systems and electronic invoicing simplifies and speeds up accounting processes. It reduces the time spent on manual data entry, document sorting, and record-keeping tasks. This efficiency gain allows businesses to allocate resources to other critical areas, focusing on growth and profitability.
4. Enhanced Accuracy: The use of electronic systems greatly reduces the chances of errors and discrepancies in financial records. Automated calculation, data validation, and built-in controls help ensure accuracy and consistency in financial reporting, reducing the risk of manual errors.
5. Cost Savings: By digitizing accounting processes and eliminating manual paperwork, businesses can save on printing, storage, and operational costs associated with traditional paper-based methods. The streamlined systems also reduce the need for physical space to store physical documents.
6. Facilitating Tax Compliance: The usage of BIR CAS and EIS simplifies tax compliance for businesses. Electronic systems can generate accurate and comprehensive reports that meet the BIR’s requirements, making it easier to fulfill tax obligations and submit timely and accurate tax returns.
In summary, the BIR CAS and EIS requirements are designed to optimize and modernize accounting and invoicing practices in the Philippines, promoting efficiency, compliance, accuracy, and cost savings for businesses.
