Bar Code on the Upper Right Corner of the BIR Income Tax Return

Most people filed their income tax return on 2014 but did not notice or don't know the purpose of a Bar code on the upper right corner of the BIR Income Tax Return.

The goal of BIR is to have a readable tax return.  A scanner will just scan the income tax return and it will automatically get all the information in the income tax return and save all the information in the BIR database

Having an updated database, BIR can just use a Computer Aided Audit Tools (CAATS) to generate audit findings of all taxpayers.
