Dear eFOI user,
Thank you for your request dated yesterday, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
In reply, please be informed that if you qualify for an Income Tax Exemption under the BMBE Law, you no longer need to file the BIR Form 1701Q. The BIR mandates only those subject to Income Tax Return (ITR) to submit this form. However, if you still want to file your 1701Q form voluntarily, you may do so via eBIRForms Facility which can be download/available in the BIR Website.
You may also opt to file for BIR Form 1700 for those taxpayer qualified under substituted filing of ITR.
