Lahat ng nagnenegosyo, lahat ng naglalayon na magbenta online ay kinakailangang magrehistro sa aming ahensyo. Ibang usapin yung kung may babayaran ba, o may ikakaltas na buwis. Pero kinakailangan na magrehistro tayo sa BIR,” Lumagui said in a televisedbriefing.</p><p>“Kung maliit naman ang negosyo ay wala namang babayarang buwis syempre hindi natin masabi paano kung biglang lumaki yan at hindi ka rehistrado, dapat sakop ka na agad at may babayaran ka na para madali na lang ang benta.”</p><p>Lumagui said the BIR has an online registration portal that makes it easier for business owners to register with the BIR.</p><p>He said the agency is communicating with giant online selling platforms to remind them of their responsibility to monitor the compliance of their sellers.</p><p>“Nakikipag-ugnayan tayo sa mga online selling platforms. Sinisiguro natin na naiintindihan nila ang kanilang obligasyon para imonitor ang mga accredited online sellers nila,” he said.</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/igeylQXwyv4?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
