Thank you so much for your informative posts!
Am getting conflicting info about the attachments — is the 2307 required for the 1701Q also? or will the printed SAWT suffice? Also, if there is no payment do the documents need to be stamped at the RDO or is email confirmation considered submitted?
SAWT is required to be submitted. If you submitted that, no need to attach the 2307.
Hello, if I would be filing for the annual 1701 form and be using 2307 from 1st to 3rd quarter only in the annual, would I be putting the date in SAWT based on 2307 (ex. January) or would I put it all in December since it was all claimed in December? Thank you.
Yes it would be okay to put it in the 4th quarter. BIR would understand that some HMOs and hospitals give the 2307s at the end of the year.
since when was this required? what if this was not done for last year & last quarter… what will happen?
How about 1701? If I was able to submit this online, do i need to submit the documents to my RDO?
No need, if you made the SAWT and summited ONLINE.
