Are you wondering what your RDO code is? If yes, search no more. In this article, you’ll learn the easy steps to get your RDO code to know who has your tax record and identify the BIR office for your transactions. So without further ado, let’s dive into details.
Whether you’re a taxpayer or operate a business, knowing your RDO is essential to determine the registry of your tax record. In addition, each taxpayer or business has a designated RDO sector. Since taxation is what fuels the government, generating tax revenues is vital. Thus, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has created an RDO codes list to assist in collecting and checking tax returns, tax payments, and other taxes.
What is RDO in BIR?
Revenue District Office (RDO) is a sector under BIR mandated to keep taxpayers’ records. It conducts varying tax services, including the registration of Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and issues the TIN card. While BIR has over 100 RDOs across the Philippines, each taxpayer has a specific RDO. Furthermore, knowing your RDO is necessary since BIR doesn’t have a centralized record of registrations. Thus, each taxpayer can only request details and transact with their designated RDO as it is where their records are.
What is an RDO code?
Your RDO code contains alphanumeric or three-digit numeric codes designated for every RDO across the country and used by BIR to track the tax collection amount in a specific area. Moreover, the RDO code assists in recording and processing tax payments, withholding taxes, and tax returns. You can use the RDO code when accomplishing BIR forms, so ensure to verify the correct one.
