Prepare BIR Form 2551Q for every non-VAT client

BIR Form 2551Q is the quarterly return for percentage tax, the tax non-VAT businesses and professionals pay on their gross sales or receipts instead of VAT. Taxpayers who chose the 8% income tax option don't pay it. A practice with many small non-VAT clients files it four times a year for each, and BoltPDF fills them all from one CSV.

What goes on a 2551Q

the year and quarter, and whether it’s an amended return
the taxpayer’s TIN, RDO code, registered name, address and contact details
the taxable transactions with their ATC, the taxable amount, the tax rate and the tax due
credits such as creditable percentage tax withheld, penalties and the total amount due
the signature of the taxpayer or authorized representative

Fixed details once, figures each quarter

Keep each client’s TIN, RDO, registered name and address in their record, and each quarter only the gross sales or receipts change. Use the same record for their 1701Q, and fields with the same labels fill from what you’ve already entered.

Every non-VAT client in one go

Export the quarter’s gross sales or receipts with one row per client, named as in BoltPDF, and import the CSV: it updates those clients’ records, and cells you leave blank keep what’s saved. Generate the batch and download a ZIP with a filled 2551Q for each. Open any one of them to check it before you file.
