See all updatesPhilippines extends digital service tax registration to July 2025
The deadline for foreign digital companies (like online platforms, streaming services, etc.) to register for tax purposes in the Philippines has been extended from June 1, 2025 to July 1, 2025. The Philippines granted this additional time because the online registration system is currently down due to technical upgrades.
The bottom line: The Philippines now taxes all digital service providers regardless of physical presence. Foreign providers earning over PHP 3 million are required to register with tax authorities by the newly extended deadline of July 1, 2025. SaaS and digital services companies should be prepared for immediate tax compliance despite the registration extension to be sure they meet all filing requirements and implement proper VAT procedures.
