Hello, planning to start paying taxes properly. May TIN na ako, and ever since VA/freelance work na talaga yung work ko, but I had to stop for a while due to medication. Ngayon medyo nakabalik na ulit sa momentum.

I’ve read na pwede na raw mag-register online sa BIR site. May nakapagtry na ba dito mag-DIY? Kumusta experience?

Questions ko sana:

- Ano usually yung requirements na need i-prepare?
- May need bang i-upload or isubmit na documents during registration?
- Ilang days bago ma-approve?
- Tama ba na “Professional - General” yung registration if multiple niches/services yung freelance work?
- Sa profession/work type selection, ano usually pinipili if hindi lang isang niche?

Also planning sana to choose the 8% non-VAT option.

- Tama ba understanding ko na invoices lang kailangan and mas simplified siya?
- Need pa ba ipa-stamp yung invoices and pumunta sa RDO office?
- If 8% non-VAT, tama ba na total income per quarter lang yung basis and no need na mag-compute ng expenses?

Would really appreciate insights especially from freelancers/VA/bookkeepers na nag-DIY 🙏

Hello there! If anyone just wanna share some good vibes or make the day lighter let's chat.

I'm kinda introverted by the way and prefer texting than calls cause I'm not much of a yapper, like verbally, cause I'm more inclined to writing. But, you know, when an introvert gets comfortable, he/she becomes an extrovert especially if vibes and energy match!

If you wanna talk about life, dumb things in the past, memes, movies, work, or anything random, I'm all in!

What's a funny experience you had that you will never ever forget? Let's take it from here :)
