The BIR offline module is free and maintained by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Other platforms typically require a full accounting or ERP subscription to access compliance features. aRTCo Tax™ is purposely-built for BIR compliance - batch processing, tax certificates, and multi-entity support without the overhead.
aRTCo Tax™ generates DAT files for the Quarterly Alphalist of Payees (QAP - 1601-EQ, 1601-FQ), the Monthly Alphalist of Payees (MAP - 1600-VT, 1600-PT), the Annual Alphalists (1604-C, 1604-E, 1604-F), the Summary Alphalist of Withholding Taxes (SAWT) attached to 2550Q and 1701Q/1702Q filings, and the Summary List of Sales, Purchases, and Importations (SLSPI). It prepares BIR Form No. 2307, BIR Form No. 2306, and BIR Form No. 2316 as tax certificates. The DAT Reviewer module accepts any of these DAT outputs and decodes them into a readable spreadsheet view for internal pre-submission review.
No. aRTCo Tax™ is a standalone platform. Data may be imported from Excel, uploaded as a spreadsheet, or entered directly. No system migration, API configuration, or IT involvement is required. aRTCo Tax™ is designed to operate alongside the accounting systems already in place.
Once an alphalist DAT file is uploaded, aRTCo Tax™ generates the corresponding BIR Form No. 2307, BIR Form No. 2306, or BIR Form No. 2316 certificates for each payee in a single run. This removes the need for manual re-entry and keeps the alphalist and the certificates consistent with one another.
DAT Reviewer decodes any alphalist or summary list DAT file into a readable spreadsheet-style format for internal review. It is intended as a pre-submission sanity check, allowing staff and reviewers to verify payee details, ATC codes, gross amounts, and control totals before the DAT is submitted to the BIR. It accepts files generated by aRTCo Tax™ or by any third-party tool, including the BIR’s own Alphalist and RELIEF modules.
Pre-submission validation runs every output against the latest BIR Alphalist (v7.4) and BIRRELIEF (v2.3) specifications. It catches structural errors, malformed field formats, header and trailer record mismatches, and control-total mismatches before the file is uploaded to BIR eFPS or eBIRForms. The intent is to surface and resolve technical issues during preparation so that BIR rejections, refilings, and the corresponding compromise penalty exposure under Sec. 250 of the Tax Code are minimized.
Full tax management platforms typically require all data to be entered into their own ecosystem, functioning as end-to-end bookkeeping-to-filing solutions. aRTCo Tax™ is purposely-built for firms and companies that already operate established accounting systems and need targeted tools for attachments and certificates, without undertaking a full platform migration. It is intended to complement existing systems rather than replace them.
Professional is for single-company practices, with 50 tax certificates per month, priority batch processing, and 2 GB Tax Cabinet storage. Enterprise is for multi-company groups, with multi-company access, a pooled certificate quota across entities (50 per company), per-entity Tax Cabinet storage, consolidated or per-entity billing, and dedicated onboarding and support.
The DAT and PDF files you generate are retained on the platform for at least five (5) years, aligned with the record-retention period for taxpayers under Section 235 of the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 11976 (Ease of Paying Taxes Act) and implemented by Revenue Regulations No. 7-2024. At the five-year mark a file becomes a read-only retained record; it stays retrievable for as long as the firm's subscription is active. Superseded versions you replace, and copies you manually archive, are removed 30 days after archiving.
Personal information processed through aRTCo Tax™ is handled in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), its implementing rules and regulations, and the Privacy Notice of Reyes Tacandong & Co. Access is limited to authorized personnel, personal information is not sold, and any sharing with service providers or advisers is carried out only when necessary and under appropriate confidentiality and data protection safeguards.

Works alongside the accounting systems you already have. Alphalists, summary lists, and certificates, prepared the way BIR requires.
