FAQs on the End of Fast File (Standalone)

Q1. What is Fast File (Standalone)?

Fast File (Standalone) was a JuanTax product that allowed tax filers to manually enter data directly into tax form fields. It was separate from JuanTax Plus and provided a form-based solution for encoding transactions, filing returns, and paying taxes to the BIR.

Q2. What is the main reason for discontinuing access to Fast File (Standalone)?

Fast File (Standalone) runs on legacy infrastructure that is costly and complex to maintain. To ensure better security, compliance, and long-term reliability, we are consolidating into one modern platform: Juan Accounting with built-in JuanTax.

This enables faster improvements, reduces legacy risks, and provides a more sustainable tax compliance solution.

Q3. How can I move my Fast File (Standalone) organizations into Juan Accounting?

If you are moving your Fast File (Standalone) organizations into Juan Accounting, we are offering free 3 months subscription per organization. To avail of this, please fill up this form.

Q4. What will happen to my org’s data in Fast File (Standalone)? Will I be able to retrieve them?

Your data is securely stored. You may request access to your data by completing this form: https://share.juan.ac/request-ff-data

All requested data will be sent to the organization’s admin-owner.

Q5. Who are qualified to avail of the 3 months free?

Q7. Is the built-in JuanTax inside Juan Accounting the same as Fast File (Standalone)?

Yes, but with automated data entry. JuanTax is now fully integrated into Juan Accounting, replacing Fast File (Standalone). Tax data flows directly from your ledger into JuanTax, reducing manual encoding and improving accuracy.

Q8. Will compensation forms be included?

Q10. What is JuanTax now?

JuanTax is now part of Juan Accounting as a main feature that houses all tax compliance functions.

Q11. Do we need to subscribe monthly to file Percentage Tax (PT) if it is done quarterly? Is there an option to subscribe on a quarterly basis instead of monthly?

For Percentage Tax filers, you may subscribe only for the month you need to file your taxes. Please remember to unsubscribe afterward to avoid unnecessary charges.

Q12. Will you still keep my data for the next 5 years?

Yes, per our accreditation with the BIR - we are required to retain the files for the next five years. 

Q13. Does BIR have access to my data?

No, it is only the owner-admin account of organizations who can retrieve the data from us.
