eFPS Enrollment Process

Job Aids

Background
The Enrollment sub-module provides the taxpayer an online Enrollment Form for acquiring Electronic
Filing and Payment System (EFPS) services. The online Enrollment Form can be accessed by taxpayers
who are currently registered to the BIR and who wish to avail of the EFPS. The form accepts all necessary
information of the taxpayer. The form is also capable to accept additional user accounts application up
to a maximum of three (3) users per TIN. After a user is successfully enrolled to EFPS, BIR will investigate
the taxpayers information for verification. Once the taxpayer is activated, taxpayer may proceed to
access the e-filing and e-payment modules. If the taxpayer is rejected due to various reasons such as
incompatible ITS data and failure to submit the required documents, he/she has the option to enroll
again after compliance.
The taxpayer should follow the enrollment procedures before using the e-Filing and e-Payment facilities
of the eFPS. An automatic email notification is sent to the taxpayer informing him/her on the status of
the enrollment application. Only upon activation can the taxpayer successfully login to the eFPS and use
its services.

1) Enrollment for New Accounts
2) Enrolling Additional Users for Existing Accounts
