Why is it called Resibow?+
Resibo is Filipino for receipt. Bow is what you tie when you wrap something up — your quarter, your tax filing, that pile of crumpled receipts in your bag. Resibow = wrap your resibos up.
Will this help me pay less tax?+
If you're a freelancer, professional, or small biz owner on graduated/itemized deductions (1701) — yes. Tracked receipts = legitimate deductible expenses = lower taxable income. If you're a regular salaried employee, PH tax law (TRAIN) doesn't allow deductions against compensation income. We can't change that — but we can still help you budget.
How is this different from Taxumo / JuanTax / Beppo?+
They file your taxes for you (₱10,000+/year). We don't. We're upstream — we capture receipts, calculate what you owe, and prep your numbers. If you want a human to handle filing entirely, use them. If you'd rather save ₱7k+/year and stay in control, use us.
Will this help with BIR filing?+
Today: clean CSV export your accountant or Taxumo/JuanTax can use directly. Coming soon: 1701Q-ready quarterly summary with deductible categorization. We're not replacing your CPA — we're making sure your numbers are ready when they ask.
Is Resibow BIR-compliant? Are digital receipts even valid?+
Yes — digital receipts are valid records under BIR Revenue Regulations 9-2009 and 16-2018, as long as they're authentic, complete, tamper-resistant, and retrievable for the 10-year retention window. Resibow stores the original image plus extracted fields, all RLS-scoped and encrypted at rest. One honest caveat: in an actual audit, some BIR examiners still ask to see physical originals — keep the paper for the 10-year window, use Resibow to make the digital side painless. We're a record-keeping + prep tool, not a BIR-accredited filer (that's Taxumo / JuanTax). Their accreditation matters for filing on your behalf; ours doesn't, because you do the filing.
I have a regular job AND I freelance on the side — does this help?+
Yes. You file 1701-MI (mixed income) and you can deduct expenses against the freelance portion. Track those side-gig receipts here, hand the export to your CPA at year-end.
Can I pay with GCash / Maya?+
Card, GCash, and Maya — all PHP-native via PayMongo. Free tier means you can start without paying anything.
Why so many tiers?+
Because solo freelancers don't all spend the same. Free for trying it. ₱69/mo Lite for casual users. ₱469/mo Pro for real volume. ₱2,999/year if you want a discount and one renewal a year. Pick what fits.
