📢 TAX ADVISORY | Delay/Non-receipt of system-generated email confirmation from eBIRForms

The Bureau of Internal Revenue advises taxpayers that delays or non-receipt of email confirmations from eBIRForms Package v7.9.6 may happen due to:

✅ Full or inactive email inbox
✅ Emails going to Spam/Junk folders
✅ Company firewall restrictions blocking emails from eBIRForms

If you successfully filed but did not receive a confirmation email:

🔹 Take a screenshot of the “Submit Successful” pop-up as proof of filing
🔹 Print your filed tax return
🔹 Proceed with electronic payment via BIR ePay facilities or Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) if taxes are due

If no screenshot was taken, taxpayers are still advised to proceed with electronic payment.
