The BIR gave a temporary solution for eFPS filers to use eBIR forms for filing the tax returns and OTC payments to its Authorized Agent Banks (AABs). Note, however, that the AABs will only accept eFPS OTC payments with tax return deadlines from March 11, 2019, onwards.
According to the BIR, eFPS has been “intermittent and unavailable” for the past couple of weeks. This is a huge inconvenience given the fact that there is less than a month left until the April 15 tax deadline.
The BIR is aware of that so they wanted to give other solutions for its eFPS filers in terms of filing and payment. Hence, this March 11th memo.
