BIR Form 2551Q is also known as the Quarterly Percentage Tax Return form.

“If manual filers also paid the percentage tax due for the third month using

BIR Form No. 2551M, taxpayer still needs to file the quarterly percentage

tax return (BIR Form No. 2551Q) and indicate in the return the total gross

sales/receipts for the quarter and the total payments made for the three

(3) month/s in Item No. 17-Other Credit/Payment made of the newly revised

BIR Form No. 2551Q.”
