About AskOnward
AskOnward, tagline “BIR, Decoded”, answers your questions about the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) of the Philippines using the official BIR documents as its source. Every answer points back to the BIR document it came from, so you can check it yourself.
What AskOnward does
AskOnward helps people understand BIR processes in plain language. Ask about registration, getting a TIN, forms, fees, deadlines, and processing times, and get an answer based on the official BIR rules instead of guesswork.
You can read our BIR guides for common topics, or ask the assistant directly for your specific situation.
Who operates AskOnward
AskOnward is an independent product operated by Smart I.T Solutions Inc. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing the Bureau of Internal Revenue or any other government agency of the Philippines.
Where the answers come from
AskOnward does not make up answers. It reads from a library of official BIR documents, the public BIR publications and issuances that spell out how registration, forms, fees, deadlines, and processing times actually work.
When you ask a question, AskOnward searches that library, finds the passages that match, and explains them in plain language. Each answer names the BIR document it is based on, so you can trace it back to the original source and confirm it for yourself.
How it works
AskOnward turns your question into a search across the BIR document library, pulls the most relevant passages, and rewrites them in clear, everyday language while keeping the citation attached. Because government requirements change over time and no automated tool is perfect, confirm any answer with the BIR or a qualified professional before you act on it. See our Disclaimer for details.
