PUBLISHED: December 2, 2022
BIR Large Taxpayers or commonly called LTP are always on the spotlight especially when it comes to the BIR’s new regulation, memorandum, and/or compliance. They are at the top of list of the bureau and are most of the time under the microscope. Just like the implementation of Electronic Invoicing System (EIS), the pilot execution concerns mostly the BIR Large Taxpayers and if the project runs successfully, only then it will be applied to all. But who are the BIR Large Taxpayers? How are they identified? And how would you know if you are considered one?

As defined by Revenue Regulations (RR No.1-98), a BIR Large Taxpayer is a taxpayer that has been classified in accordance with the regulation and has been notified by the commissioner of the bureau. The two requirements are needed in order to be considered as a BIR Large Taxpayer. Once a taxpayer has been informed by the BIR, he/she/they will remain classified as a large taxpayer until reclassified.
