BIR removes eCAR 5-year validity period

THE electronic certificate authorizing registration (eCAR) will no longer have a five-year validity, a move that will benefit taxpayers, according to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

"The eCAR is now valid until its presentation to the Registry of Deeds (RD). We have removed the five-year validity period for the benefit of taxpayers," BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. said in a statement.
