Tax Exception Certificate

Purpose: Scholarship Requirement
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2021 - 06/01/2022
Tracking no: #BIR-260947710269

Canlas 12:19 PM, Jun 09, 2022 

I'm Lorna Canlas, working abroad with my husband Ronaldo Canlas. I would like to request a Tax Exemption Certificate for OFW because it is one of my daughter's scholarship requirements (Roniella Liezyl Canlas). My husband and I already know that we can only get the certificate through the BIR office in the Philippines along with the requirements. However, my husband and I are here in Dubai, and my daughter is also here; we can't comply with all the requirements because my daughter returning flight is in August, but the certificate is needed in the last week of June.

Thank you.


Dear Ms./Mr.,

Thank you for emailing earlier as possible, but as I stated in my message, I can't comply with all those requirements because I'm here in another country (Dubai), I'm currently working here right now. My daughter (Roniella Liezyl Canlas), the one who needs the Tax Exemption Certificate for scholarship requirement is also here in Dubai that's why she cannot compile those requirements that you needed. We only need is the Tax Exemption Certificate for OFW, and we can only give you is the OWWA membership.
