The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has extended the registration of all non-resident digital service providers (NRDSPs) to July 1 in line with the imposition of the 12-percent value-added tax (VAT).

In its latest revenue memorandum circular, the BIR said the deadline for the online or electronic registration of all NRDSPs is July 1. The original deadline was set on June 1.

The BIR said the extension was due to the unavailability of the VAT on the digital services portal and the online registration and update system.

The systems remain offline as a result of ongoing system migration activities.
