Online registration and update system introduced
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) Nos. 12-2023 and 36-2023 to announce the availability and implementation of registration-related online transactions, functions, and features in the online registration and update system (ORUS).
Background
Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 27-2020, "BIR Digital Transformation (DX) Roadmap 2020-2030," introduced the ORUS which enables taxpayers to register, update and transact with the BIR for registration-related transactions online.
ORUS is a web-based system that provides all taxpayers a convenient and alternative facility for the end-to-end process of their registration with the BIR. The ORUS system can be accessed by every taxpayer through the BIR official website under the eServices icon or through https://orus.bir.gov.ph.
To be able to enroll in the system, all taxpayers who intend to transact online with the BIR through ORUS are advised to update their registration records, such as e-mail address and contact information using the S1905 – Registration Update Sheet (RUS).
