You do the raket. We do the tax.

RaketTax is built exclusively for Filipino freelancers, remote workers, and small business owners on the BIR's 8% flat income tax rate (earning up to ₱3,000,000 annually) — including if you're not registered with the BIR yet, since RaketTax Launchpad can register you.

If you want to focus on growing your hustle instead of stressing over confusing tax forms, deadlines, and BIR penalties, RaketTax is for you.

Yes. RaketTax Launchpad is a paid, fully digital service — a partner bookkeeper creates your BIR ORUS registration, secures your 8% flat rate from day one, and sets up your RaketTax ledger — in the normal case, no RDO visit is needed. It typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Prefer to register yourself for free? Our step-by-step BIR registration guide is in the Articles section.

Yes, as long as you don't have an ORUS account yet (if you've never signed up at orus.bir.gov.ph yourself, you don't). You don't need a new TIN (having two is against the law). Your RaketTax Launchpad partner bookkeeper creates your ORUS account, updates your existing registration to add your freelance or business income and secure the 8% rate, and transfers your TIN from your old employer's RDO to your home RDO if needed — all included in the one-time fee. When you sign up, choose "I need to register: I already have a TIN (e.g., from a job or for an ID)" and enter your TIN. Already have an ORUS account? Launchpad can't take it over, because we never ask for your ORUS password, but you can update your registration yourself with our free guide in the Help Center.

Under the BIR 8% flat tax law, taxpayers earning up to ₱3 Million don't need audited financial statements or a CPA's signature on their return. You can track for free and file yourself, or use our VIP Concierge option.

Log each foreign payout in its original currency along with the exchange rate for the day you were paid — the BIR-mandated reference rate for that date (RMC 12-2024) is the standard: the BAP rate for USD, and the BSP's published rate for other currencies. RaketTax converts it to PHP and locks that amount into your ledger and your 1701Q / 1701A, so your totals stay consistent and audit-ready.

Log the withholding tax amount from each 2307 into your ledger and RaketTax automatically deducts it from your tax due. One catch: under BIR RR 2-2006, any return that claims 2307 credits must be backed by a SAWT (Summary Alphalist of Withholding Taxes) — you email the SAWT `.dat` file to the BIR's eSubmission facility, then file the confirmation and your 2307 scans through eAFS. Without it, the credit can be disallowed on audit. If you self-file you do this step yourself; on the VIP Concierge plan your partner bookkeeper compiles your 2307s, generates the SAWT, and submits everything for you.

RaketTax's computations and pre-filled forms are built around Revenue Regulations 8-2018 and the Ease of Paying Taxes (EOPT) Act. RaketTax is not BIR-accredited or certified. It prepares the return — it doesn't file it for you unless you choose VIP Concierge — and either way you review every figure and remain the taxpayer responsible for what's filed.

We keep up with the EOPT Act, including the removal of the ₱500 Annual Registration Fee and the transition from Official Receipts to Sales Invoices.
