Buyer (i.e., taxpayer that makes payment to agents, dealers and distributors) is required to issue self-billed e-Invoice for payments or any other incentives (whether in monetary form or otherwise made) to the agent, dealers and distributors as outlined under Section 9.4 of the e-Invoice Specific Guideline. 

This requirement applies regardless of whether the agents, dealers and distributors are individual or corporate (i.e., supplier in this case). The buyer is obliged to share validated self-billed e-Invoice with the supplier upon validation.

In this regard, the agents, dealers and distributors are not required to issue an e-Invoice to the taxpayers who make payment.
