The Philippine Tax Whiz reminds businesses and professionals of year-end tax compliance requirements set by the Bureau of Internal Revenue

What are the year-end tax compliance requirements of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)? When is the deadline for each requirement? Will I be penalized if I fail to pay on time?

Listed below are the BIR’s year-end tax compliance requirements, with their corresponding deadlines.

Non-compliance will be subject to compromise penalties ranging from P1,000 to P50,000 each, applicable to non-payment of returns and failure to fulfill compliance requirements.

I just started my business in December 2021. Do I still need to comply with all the BIR requirements even if my business has just started?

Unfortunately, yes. Immediately the following month upon registration, monthly and quarterly compliance are required already, including annual renewal and filing of the income tax return. The same applies to those who registered during the last month of the year, whether or not there are sales/income or operations. 

Are there other year-end requirements set by other government agencies that I need to comply with for my business? When is the deadline for the renewal of business permits? 

Yes. Aside from the BIR requirements, you also need to secure a barangay clearance from the barangay hall, and a business permit (or mayor’s permit) from the city hall or municipal hall where your business is registered. 

The deadline for the business permit was on January 20, 2022, but for businesses under the jurisdiction of the cities of Manila and Marikina, the deadline has been extended until March 31, 2022, and February 28, 2022, respectively.
