BIR Tax Exemption Application

After several attempts starting 2015 I was finally able to submit all the necessary requirements for filing for tax exemptions.

2015 - RDO was unable to release Certified True copies of ITR and AFS for the year 2012 and 2013
(due to the previous manual entries/change of chief and other reasons)
2016 - Was given a Tax Clearance Certificate,however RDO was unable to release Certified True copies of ITR and AFS for the year 2013
2017 - CTC of ITR&AFS from 2014,2015 and 2016 were released,however Authorized Agent Banks had erroneous entries (i.e payment for the month of June was entered for December) and other system issues.
2018 - Submitted all requirements to the RDO

We are a SEC registered church-I see some negative comments about it. Why is there a flak over this? Generally,it is because some people view it as a phony church.I love my church family,where I got baptized and came to an understanding of faith in Jesus. The church is simply not a building. As Christians- followers of our Savior Jesus Christ, we practice what He preached and commanded. It can only be done through a church setting-a community of fellow believers who studies the scriptures together and works together in unity to grow the faith of each other.

Assessment of requirements 

SEC Express Nationwide Submission-SENS is here!

There was a SEC memorandum circular that came out this year,I couldn't remember how I came across it,but I think it is a very helpful and convenient way of submitting the annual reports required by the SEC - the General Information Sheet  and the BIR /BIR authorized banks stamped Audited Finacial Statements.

The instructions are in the memorandum circular that you can print out from the website of SEC in the Announcement section (I have inserted the link above,just click it).The date of reckoning will be the date when SEC receives your documents,not when you drop it off at the courier so you have to be early.Deadlines are also stated in the circular so do read carefully.

The instructions are easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy (I just want to use this phrase LOL)

First, go to the website http://sens.secexpress.ph/
Next, select an option.I chose No Return Copy since I can get the Plain/Certified True Copies by ordering it thru https://secexpress.ph/ after 2-3 months,also I won't have any use for the SEC received copy-BIR requires Certified True Copies anyway.
Then,you'll be asked to choose an Air21 courier near you (there are no other couriers besides Air21 as of this writing),unfortunately there is none listed for Lucena,so I had to go to San Pablo City -of course it is still better than going to Manila with all that traffic! LOL
After that,you'll have to fill out the Check List form that should be attached to each document set you will send -one check list for the GIS set and one for the AFS set.
You also need to print the mail label that you have to paste/stick on the brown envelop.It also has an instruction there so read carefully.

attach the checklist to each document set

instructions for the mail label

So after you follow everything, you can track the status.The reference number is located on the Check List form.

Check the status of the document

SEC received our documents yey!

So, my next step is to follow-up if there is anything else that needs to be done by calling their Land Line 02 5849 225/5840 919 using NDD because it is long distance.

To Check if it is already in the SEC System, go to https://secexpress.ph/ then click get started,in the Order page enter the company information.
