What Is a Tax Health Check And Why Your Business Needs It Now 

Most tax issues don’t start with bad intent—they start with small errors, missed deadlines, or outdated processes. 

That’s why smart business owners in the Philippines are turning to Tax Health Checks—a professional diagnostic review that uncovers red flags, improves compliance, and gets your business audit-ready before the BIR ever shows up. 

And the best part? It’s not just about finding problems. A Tax Health Check also identifies tax-saving opportunities and helps you improve your internal processes for long-term compliance.

What Is a Tax Health Check? 

At UNA, our Tax Health Check is more than just a surface-level review. It’s a structured tax diagnostic engagement designed to give you a clear picture of where your business stands with the BIR—and where the risks or missed opportunities lie. 

It typically includes a review of: 

  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual BIR returns (1701, 1702, 2551Q, 1601EQ, etc.) 
  • VAT, withholding taxes, and percentage tax filings 
  • Books of accounts, invoices, and official receipts (ORs) 
  • Supporting documentation (reviewed on a sampling basis) to verify deductibility and BIR compliance 

The goal: Identify risks, recommend fixes, and uncover possible tax savings—before small issues become big problems. 

Why Your Business Needs a Tax Health Check Today 

Let’s face it—BIR audits are stressful, and penalties for minor violations can quickly add up. A Tax Health Check is your early warning system—and your best defense. 

1. Prevent BIR Audits and LOAs 

The BIR keeps an eye on: 

  • Under-declared income 
  • Businesses declaring constant losses 
  • Late or inconsistent tax returns 
    A Tax Health Check catches these audit triggers before the BIR does. 

2. Avoid Costly Penalties 

Late filings or incorrect forms can result in: 

  • 25% to 50% penalties 
  • Annual interest on unpaid taxes 
  • Suspension of business permits 

One missed filing can cost you ₱20,000 or more. We help you avoid that. 

3. Speed Up Loans, Permits, and TCC Approvals 

If you’re applying for: 

  • A Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) 
  • A business loan or investment 
  • A permit renewal 

Clean tax records and reconciled filings help you get approved faster—with less back-and-forth. 

4. Gain Peace of Mind 

Stop wondering if your accountant missed something. With a Tax Health Check, you’ll get: 

  • A full compliance summary 
  • Actionable insights to fix issues 
  • Clarity and confidence going into the next quarter 

5. Discover Tax Savings & Strategic Planning Opportunities 

This isn’t just about penalties—it’s about potential savings. 

We identify: 

  • Missed deductions or VAT input credits 
  • Valid tax incentives your business may qualify for 
  • Legal tax avoidance strategies to reduce your burden 
    With expert advice, you can pay the right tax—no more, no less—and plan your growth around smarter tax decisions.
