Taxumo, the Philippines’ leading online tax filing platform for freelancers, professionals, and small business owners, has announced a key partnership with REKO, the country’s first all-Filipino eBook platform. This collaboration is designed to make tax compliance simpler and more affordable for local authors and creative professionals.
Through this partnership, REKO’s partner publishers and authors will receive special discounted rates on Taxumo’s online tax filing services. This provides authors with a streamlined way to effortlessly file their taxes and maintain compliance with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) within minutes, eliminating the stress of manual paperwork.
REKO, developed by BookSpine Inc., is a digital platform dedicated to helping Filipino authors publish, protect, and distribute their works digitally, complete with secure streaming, DRM protection, and data analytics. Since its launch in 2025, REKO has played a vital role in helping authors monetize their craft and expand their readership.
“At Taxumo, we believe that every creator and author deserves to focus on telling their stories — not stressing about taxes,” said Ginger Arboleda, CEO and Co-Founder of Taxumo. “Partnering with REKO allows us to support Filipino authors who are turning their creativity into sustainable livelihoods. We’re here to make the financial side of their careers simpler, more affordable, and compliant — so they can keep creating without worry.”
“With REKO, our vision has always been to make Filipino-authored books accessible to everyone and to give authors greater control over their work, distribution, and income,” said Gia Santos, Founder of REKO. “This partnership with Taxumo completes that cycle — ensuring that as our authors grow their readership and earnings, they can also confidently manage their taxes. It’s another way we’re helping Filipino writers thrive in the digital age.”
This collaboration signifies a shared commitment between REKO and Taxumo to strengthen the Philippine creative economy. By equipping authors with the necessary tools, the partnership supports their career growth—from publishing their first eBook to responsibly managing their professional finances.
