What is an eAccReg?

What is eAccReg?

The Electronic Accreditation and Registration (eAccReg) system is a crucial online platform provided by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in the Philippines. It streamlines the process of accrediting, registering, and issuing permits for the use of sales machines and sales receipting system software.  Think of it as the digital gateway for businesses to comply with BIR regulations regarding their Point of Sale (POS) systems and other machines that generate receipts or invoices.  Essentially, eAccReg modernizes and simplifies what used to be a more cumbersome, manual process.

eAccReg serves as the online hub for the accreditation, registration, and use of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and POS machines, as well as other business machines that generate receipts or invoices.  This includes everything from traditional POS machines used in retail stores to specialized software used for order taking and inventory management.  By moving this process online, the BIR aims to make it more efficient and accessible for taxpayers.


What's the purpose of having an eAccReg account?

Having an eAccReg account is not just a good idea; it's often a requirement.  Here's a breakdown of the key purposes and benefits:

  • Mandatory for RDOs (and often for taxpayers): While the phrasing "mandatory to all local RDO to have such account" might be slightly unclear, it points to a key fact: RDOs use the eAccReg system to manage and process POS permit applications.  Increasingly, taxpayers are also required to use the eAccReg system to initiate and manage their POS-related transactions.  This is a move towards a more digital and streamlined system.
  • Convenient Access: One of the biggest advantages of eAccReg is accessibility.  You can access your account anytime, anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.  This eliminates the need to visit the RDO in person for many routine tasks, saving you valuable time and effort.
  • Print Permits Anywhere:  Need a copy of your Permit to Use (PTU)?  With eAccReg, you can print it yourself – at home, in your office, at a café, or even at the RDO's e-lounge if you need assistance.  This on-demand access to your PTU is incredibly convenient and eliminates the need to request copies from the RDO.
  • No More Queues: Perhaps the most appreciated benefit is the elimination of long queues at the RDO.  eAccReg allows you to complete many processes online, avoiding the frustration of waiting in line for hours.  This frees up your time to focus on running your business.
  • Improved Record Keeping:  eAccReg provides a centralized, digital record of your POS machine registrations, permits, and other related information.  This makes it easier to manage your compliance requirements and access important documents when needed.
  • Faster Processing:  In many cases, online transactions through eAccReg are processed faster than manual, paper-based transactions.  This can expedite the process of getting your POS system approved and operational.
  • Reduced Paperwork:  By moving to a digital platform, eAccReg helps reduce the amount of physical paperwork involved in POS registration and permitting.  This is not only more environmentally friendly but also simplifies record keeping for businesses.
