The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) lifted the five-year validity period of electronic Certificate Authorizing Registration (eCAR).
Revenue Regulations No. 12-2024 extends the validity of all eCARs until presented to the concerned registry of deeds.
"Under Bagong Pilipinas, the BIR will also be a service-oriented agency, not merely a collection-oriented one," BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. said on Tuesday, June 25, in a statement.
"Whatever we can do to help ease the burden of our taxpayers in paying their taxes, we will implement," Lumagui added.
RR No. 12-2024 also states that only CARs issued outside of the eCAR system will need be allowed for revalidation.
BIR mentioned that CARs allow the Land Registration Authority to transfer ownership of real properties resulting from sale, donation and other mode of transfers.
The agency mentioned that CARs serve as proof that the transfer of property was reported, and all the necessary taxes were paid in full by the taxpayer.
