BIR Letter of Authority (LOA) is a formal letter of authorization issued by the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), authorizing a person or organization to conduct an audit, investigation or review of one or more tax matters.

The LOA will usually list the following information:

Audit scope and purpose
Auditor’s name and title
investigation period
Date and place of audit

After receiving the LOA, the audited person or company must cooperate with the auditor’s request and provide all necessary documents and records for the audit.
