Electronic Filing and Payment System (EFPS) eFPS Stands For Electronic Filing and Payment System, and It Refers To The System
eFPS stands for Electronic Filing and Payment System, and it refers to the system
developed and maintained by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for electronically
filing tax returns, including attachments, if any, and paying taxes due thereon,
specifically through the internet.
The eFPS is:
- Convenient to use - it is quick and simple to use, as well as secure.
- Interactive - information exchange is immediate and online, users get immediate
feedback from the system when enrolling, e-filing or performing e-payments.
- Self-validating - errors are minimized because all of the information supplied by the
taxpayer is validated before final submission.
- Fast - response or acknowledgment time is quicker than manual filing.
- Readily available - eFPS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including
holidays.
- Secure - return and payment transactions are more secure, as all data transmission is
encrypted.
- Cost effective - processing cost of returns and payments is minimized (e.g. receiving,
pre-processing, encoding, and error-handling and storage).
Currently, the eFPS allows you to e-file and e-pay for the following forms:
