Last week, I shared the 1st part of the mistakes we’ve seen entrepreneurs make that put them at higher risk of BIR audit.

These aren’t theories - they are based on our experience dealing with BIR and helping clients with their accounting, tax, and finance.

A client with 70+ employees was hit with a ₱5M BIR assessment. We disputed it and got it down to ₱1M.

Another client, a well-known school here in the Philippines, was assessed ₱7M. We fought it and reduced it to just ₱313k.

So today, let us share the 2nd part of the 5 mistakes we’ve seen entrepreneurs make that double their chances of getting audited by the BIR.

3 Mistakes That Double Your Chance of Getting Audited by BIR
(Even If You Think You're Compliant)

[1] Taxpayers with an underdeclaration of sales or overstatement of expenses by at least 30%

This is a mandatory audit for the BIR because they consider a 30% underdeclaration of sales or overstatement of expenses as fraud.

[2] Reporting a net operating loss despite maintaining a high volume of gross sales

When you declare a net loss, you won’t pay any income tax.

That’s why the BIR considers this a priority audit to ensure entrepreneurs are compliant.

[3] Reporting consecutive net losses over multiple taxable years while continuing normal or expanding business operations.

Just like no. 2, this is a priority audit for BIR to ensure entrepreneurs pay the correct income taxes.

These are just the top 3 we have seen that cause entrepreneurs to get audited by BIR.

There are other mandatory and priority cases that entrepreneurs must know to stay compliant and avoid trouble with BIR.

Comment TAX below, and we’ll send you the mistakes that cause audits so you can avoid them.

3 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Always End Up Short On Cash Even Though They Make Millions in Sales

Honestly, most entrepreneurs are not aware of no. 3 - it will shock you.

[1] Business is not profitable

One of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs end up short on cash is that their business is not profitable to begin with - meaning the sales they are making are not enough to cover their costs and expenses.

So no matter how much effort they put in and how busy they are, they still end up short on cash.

[2] Slow collections

Now, your business can be profitable, but if it takes a long time like 2 or 3 months or more to collect your sales or receivables, then you will end up short on cash to cover your monthly operating expenses such as payroll, rent, utilities, etc.

If you’re enjoying this video and you want to get your accounting and finance to support the growth you want so you can build a profitable and tax compliant business here in the Philippines…

Comment the word PROFIT and I’ll DM you our special guide.

Now going back…

[3] Overspending

What I have seen is that the natural tendency of entrepreneurs when they see a big amount is to spend - hiring new people, raising salaries, buying new equipment we might not actually need, etc.

So these are the 3 reasons why most entrepreneurs end up short on cash even though they’re making millions in sales.

If your business is growing but you’re still doing most of the work and have to follow up and piece it all together, this is for you.

Here are 5 signs you have an accounting & finance problem as a growth-driven entrepreneur...

1. Your bank account never grows even though you're making millions in sales -
..you’ve been successful in making sales, but when you look at your bank balance, you can't help but wonder where the money goes and why it’s not as big as you expected.

2. You're constantly updating or following up with your bookkeeper just to get the books done, and taxes filed -
..you can’t help but wonder: “I hired someone to reduce stress, not create it”

3. You've been hit with 6-figure penalties because of late tax filing and payment -
..and you're still not sure how it happened or how to prevent it from happening again.

4. You've been waiting weeks (or months) for reports that still haven't come, so you are forced to do your own checking and to piece it all together every month.

5. You're stressed and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of compliance tasks - accounting, payroll, taxes and it's taking time away from actually running and growing your business.

If you can relate to at least one of these signs, chances are you have a bookkeeping problem.
