How to Register Your Business with BIR Using the New Business Registration Portal

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has made it convenient for new businesses or those who are already in business but are not yet registered with BIR to apply for business registration online.

With the new system, taxpayers can avoid the long lines in the Revenue District Office (RDO) giving them a safer and more convenient way to register their business.

New Business Registration (NewBizReg) Portal

Recently, the BIR issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) 73-2021, announcing the availability of the New Business Registration (NewBizReg) Portal.

The NewBizReg Portal serves as the taxpayers’ access to the electronic submission of applications for business registration through electronic mail, which is available to individual and non-individual taxpayers.

Taxpayers-registrants must also answer the “Tax Type Questionnaire” (Annex A) and submit the document as an attachment to the email.  The accomplished Tax Type Questionnaire will be the basis of BIR in determining the taxpayer’s tax types, which the taxpayer will be liable to.
