The written request for enrollment shall contain the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the NGA and the complete address thereof, including the fund code(s) and the names of its personnel who are duly authorized to use the eFPS for filing the withholding tax returns and remittance of the corresponding withholding tax due thereon through the eTRA System.

4. The remittance of withholding taxes by the NGAs shall be closely monitored by all concerned revenue personnel, through the œWithholding Tax Collection Report of NGAs thru e-TRA  of the eFPS reporting facility, in order to detect any erroneous entry that may be committed by the NGA, such as, but not limited to, the following:

   2. The validated error(s) shall be corrected in the Integrated Tax System- Collection and Bank Reconciliation System (ITS-CBRS) and not through the eFPS.

7. In order to prevent the overstatement of revenue collections resulting from any of the above instances, both the verification of the reported discrepancies/errors by NGAs, as well as the adjustments in the ITS-CBRS, if appropriate, shall be made within five (5) days from receipt of the written notice from the NGA. Any necessary adjustment in the ITS-CBRS shall, in no case, be made after the end of the calendar month of collection of the withholding taxes.
