VAT BIR hoping to launch VAT refund online application system in 2027
The BIR plans to launch an online VAT refund application system by 2027 under RMO 27-2026, dated May 14, which updates its 2026-2028 strategic plan. The platform will accept supporting documents and let applicants track claims, while full e-invoicing onboarding of remaining VAT taxpayers is moved to 2028.
For sellers VAT-registered online sellers may eventually file and track refund claims online, but the system is targeted for 2027, so nothing changes yet.
