BIR memorandum re: clarification on the removal of the 5-year validity period on receipts
Summary:
1. Invoices/Receipts expiring ON or BEFORE July 15, 2022 are mandated to be surrendered to the BIR. The surrendered receipts are to be replaced by a newly-issued receipts/invoices on which the 5-year validity period is no longer applicable. Newly-issued receipts/invoices may be used for more than 5 years until they are fully exhausted.
2. Invoices/Receipts expiring ON July 16, 2022 onwards may be used by the taxpayer until they are fully exhausted. The validity period reflected at the footer of the receipts/invoices shall be disregarded.
2.1. Example, issuance of a receipt/invoice today - September 7, 2022 to a customer with expiration of July 16, 2022 is still valid)
