A remote tax preparer in the Philippines organises your company’s general tax forms. They can help ease the stress of preparing all your files, documents and deductions throughout the year and lodge your tax returns when they are due. An offshore tax preparer can also perform audits and defend your company against any legal tax issues.

A remote tax accountant (also known as a tax consultant or tax agent) on the other hand, can perform all of the same tasks as a tax preparer. However, their higher level of expertise allows them to also guide you through the complexities of the Philippines’ tax codes. A tax accountant, therefore, ensures that your tax return adheres to the relevant tax codes, keeps you updated with the progress of your tax return, and can work with you to design a plan that helps to achieve your financial goals. 

The difference between a tax preparer and a tax consultant is in their qualifications. An offshore tax preparer in the Philippines doesn’t actually need any formal qualifications, as they can learn how to perform their tasks by working in a tax consultation agency. They are generally very experienced, however, and are very good at what they do. Their role is mainly limited to admin tasks that result in your tax return being lodged correctly and on time. Although they can perform audits and help to defend against tax transgressions, as mentioned above. 

An offshore tax accountant, however, has a bachelor’s degree in the relevant field and the experience to ensure that your company adheres to the tax laws, whilst minimising your taxable income and maximising your returns.

Remote tax preparation and remote tax accountancy are both strategies that can help your business remain tax compliant. Whether you need a tax preparer or a tax agent, depends on the size of your company, your budget and your financial goals.
