Ano Ang Dapat Unang Gawin BIR Registration o Business Permit?

Ano nga ang dapat maunang gawin Bir Registration o pagkuha ng Business Permit?

I answered that question several times already with clients. 

For ease and convenience, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) released Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 57-2020 removing Mayor’s Permit as one of the mandatory requirements for registering a business with the agency. The removal is part of the streamlined registration requirements and revised documentary requirements checklist to further ease doing business in the Philippines. and;

As a matter of fact, anyone can register their business conveniently online with the BIR's NewBizReg Portal.

I need to answer a client's inquiry straight to the point not citing convenience, but a more substantiated answer is required even if my answer might go against their will.

I always say for me.... better to do your business permit first. WHY?

BIR registration is easy to do and complications of getting the business permit sometimes derail the timeline or the target schedule the business should start. What if your supposed business might have issues against some of the municipality ordinances or simply your landlord does not want to sign a lease agreement. These scenarios might delay the business to commence for say one month, two months or more while resolving issues and other matters about the proposed business. and;

You already register the business with the BIR ,so you need to comply by submitting related tax returns while the business is still not in operation.

You can submit a no payment return. NO PROBLEM.. but what if you overlooked the BIR registration because you are busy resolving issues with your business permit processing. Take note that non submission of returns on time entails a penalty of P1000.00 per return.

But then it is for the client to decide, I just answered the question in my own opinion.
