The rules surrounding the annual renewal of business permits in
the Philippines are complex and with the 20 January deadline
looming, now is the time to prepare your business.
The business permits of all registered entities in the
Philippines normally expire at the end of each year (31 December).
All businesses must process the renewal of their permits within the
period of 01 January until 20 January of each year.
All businesses that have been issued a permit last year must
renew with the same local government unit in the area where the
business operates. All businesses in the Philippines should plan
ahead to avoid being inconvenienced by long lines, payment of
potential penalties or the prohibition of business operations.
