Bureau of Internal Revenue(BIR)

Hi, I would like to report several financial documents, including financial reports, used receipts, and unused receipts, which were either washed away or soaked in water as a result of the flood during the recent severe tropical storm Kristine.

Could you please provide guidance on the proper procedure and a list of required documents or attachments necessary for reporting this event?

Thank you very much for your assistance.
