What is BIR Form 1600-VT
BIR Form 1600-VT, or the Monthly Remittance Return of Value-Added Tax Withheld, is a tax form filed by businesses that withhold 12% VAT on payments to non-resident digital service providers (NRDSPs). This applies if you’re paying foreign suppliers that are not registered with the BIR or PEZA.
Common examples of taxable payments include:
- Ads on Meta or Google
- Subscriptions to Google Workspace or Microsoft Office 365
- Monthly fees for services like ChatGPT Plus, Canva, or Zoom
If you’re making these payments for your business, you’re required to file Form 1600-VT every month.
