Freelancers DIY BIR Registration and BIR Tax Compliance Guide
At GA Consulting, our mission is to empower Freelancers Through Simple & Stress-free Tax Compliance. One of the ways we do this is by providing helpful and easy-to-understand resources, including our DIY eBook, now in its 5th Edition.
The Ultimate DIY BIR Tax Compliance Guide for Freelancers was first released in November 2020 as the 2021 edition. Since then, we’ve continued to update it to reflect changes in the BIR process and improvements in tax compliance for freelancers.
This guide covers both Freelancer BIR Registration and Freelancer Tax Compliance. We’ve made the content as clear and beginner-friendly as possible. Still, if you have suggestions on how we can improve it for the 2026 edition, we would love to hear from you.
If you ever feel stuck at any point while using the guide, don’t worry. We’ve built a community just for you. Join the Freelancers BIR Tax Compliance Support Group where you can ask questions and get support from fellow freelancers. It’s completely free to join.
To make things even easier, especially for those who prefer visual instructions, we also post step-by-step video tutorials. Our Quarterly Income Tax Return Filing Guide for Freelancers and other helpful content are available on our YouTube channel. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an update.
