What can a tax and compliance service include?
The scope may include BIR registration or updates, bookkeeping, recurring tax return preparation, withholding tax schedules, payroll-related records, annual income tax coordination, financial statement support, SEC annual reports, and local permit renewals. The exact scope depends on your business and registrations.
Can you review our current BIR registration and tax types?
Yes. Our team can review available registration documents, current operations, branches, and existing records to identify items that may require clarification or updating. Any agency action remains subject to the applicable requirements and approval process.
Can you take over from our current accountant or provider?
Yes, subject to a turnover and records review. We will identify the documents, books, schedules, access, open filings, and unresolved items needed before confirming the takeover scope.
Can you help if some returns or records are incomplete?
Our team can assess the available records, identify gaps, and propose a cleanup or remediation scope. Penalties, assessments, filing acceptance, and agency outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
How do you determine the service fee?
Pricing may depend on registered tax types, transaction volume, number of bank accounts, employees, branches, reporting requirements, filing frequency, and the condition of existing books and records.
Do you guarantee that there will be no penalties?

Can you support foreign-owned companies?
Yes. Starlight supports local and foreign-owned businesses that need assistance coordinating Philippine tax, bookkeeping, reporting, payroll-related, and corporate compliance requirements.
