The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) tapped Land Bank of the Philippines to create the Value-Added Tax on Digital Services (VDS) Portal.
The platform will allow digital service providers (DSPs) based outside the Philippines to conveniently file and pay their value-added tax (VAT) obligations online for services consumed within the country.
BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. and LandBank president and chief executive Lynette Ortiz signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on July 8, 2025, at the BIR National Office Building in Quezon City.
The collaboration aligns with Republic Act No. 12023, which mandates VAT imposition on foreign digital service providers for services consumed domestically.
Under the agreement, LandBank will develop and maintain the portal, while the BIR will oversee its implementation and ensure policy compliance.
This supports the government’s push for digital tax administration and increased revenue mobilization from the digital economy.
