MAKATI CITY has extended the deadline for the assessment and payment of city requirements, granting taxpayers and business owners more time to comply without penalty.
Under City Ordinance No. 2026-002, the Sangguniang Panglungsod moved the deadline for the assessment and payment of business permits to Jan. 26 from Jan. 20 initially, while it pushed back the deadline for business licenses to Feb. 2.
Meanwhile, Makati taxpayers will be allowed to still avail the 10% discount on Real Property Tax payments until Feb. 2. All payments may be made from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“We recognize that many of our business owners and property taxpayers are still completing their requirements,” Makati Mayor Maria Lourdes Nancy S. Binay was quoted as saying in a statement on Wednesday.
“This extension gives them reasonable time to comply without penalties, while allowing the city to continue delivering programs and services that benefit all Makati residents.”
She noted that all other existing rules, regulations and penalties provided under relevant laws and ordinances remain in effect. — CAT
