Tax Alert No. 36 [Second Quarterly LBT Extensions]

17 Apr 2020

Second Quarterly LBT Extensions

Pursuant to the Local Government Code, local business taxes (LBT) may be paid on an annual or quarterly basis.

Annual mode of payment should be made on or before the 20th day of January each year. Quarterly payments are due every 20th day of each quarter (January, April, July, and October).

The second quarter LBT payment is due every 20th of April each year. However, since Luzon and other provinces have been placed under Enhance Community Quarantine in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the following Local Government Units (LGU) have extended, without imposition of interest, penalties and surcharge, the deadline of the second quarter LBT payment:

We shall update the list as soon as other LGUs issue the corresponding extensions within their jurisdictions. Also, in view of the prolonged ECQ until 30 April 2020, LGUs which moved deadlines until this date would likely further extend the due date.
