What are the other documents to be issued for selling of goods, properties, services, and use of services?

For selling of goods or properties:

Aside from the VAT Sales Invoice or Non-VAT Sales Invoice, sellers also issue a Collection Receipt.

For selling of services or use/lease of properties:

Aside from the VAT Official Receipt or Non-VAT Official Receipt, sellers also issue a Billing Invoice.

Collection Receipts and Billing Invoices belong to the so-called Supplementary / Commercial Invoices. These documents must also be covered by ATP and be printed by BIR accredited printers.
