Understanding and filing taxes can be confusing. If you’re self-employed in the Philippines, it’s essential to know which BIR forms you need: 1701A, 1701, 1701Q, 2551Q, and 0605.

BIR Form 1701A

Self-employed professionals, freelancers, independent contractors and entrepreneurs, you’ll likely need the BIR Form 1701A. This form is your yearly tax submission if your income is primarily from your business or professional activities.
