Get Your Business Permit Renewed This Coming New Year with Taxumo (Until December 30, 2019 Only)

The Holiday Season is upon us. And it’s the season to be jolly, right? 🙂

But once the festivities are over, it’s a reality check for most business owners like you.

What’s the realization that most entrepreneurs have at the start of each year…

“Oh (expletive here), I haven’t renewed my business permit!!!”

You very well know that having your business permit renewed each year is mandatory.

In fact, the obligation to pay the business tax every January of each year is provided for in the Local Government Code of the Philippines (Republic Act 7160).

Benefits of Renewing Your Business Permit

Apart from the business permit renewal being mandatory, there are other benefits for complying with the government.

For one, you get to sleep well at night knowing that your LGU continues to give your business that stamp of approval.

Second, your customers get that peace of mind too — they will assume that they are transacting with a legally compliant company whenever they see your latest Mayor’s Permit hanging on your wall.

They won’t think that you’re a fly-by-night operation.

Last, but not the least, you avoid the hefty fines and surcharges levied against businesses that fail to renew their permit on time.

However, even if you are aware of the benefits, how come, like most business owners, you always scramble to get that renewal at the start of each year?

Well, you don’t have to worry because, for a limited time, we are offering our Business Permit Renewal service to small business owners (specifically, for sole props).
