DAVAO CITY BUSINESS TAX COLLECTION HITS P2.2 BILLION

The City Treasurer’s Office (CTO) collected P2,243,099,848.78 in business taxes and other regulatory fees during the recently concluded business permit renewal and application one-stop shop in January 2026.

The amount is 8.14 percent higher than last year’s collection of P2,074,224,684.62.

City Treasurer Atty. Lawrence Bantiding said the increase in collections and the rise in permit applications indicate that businesses in Davao City are thriving.

“With the increase in collection from business taxes, it can be inferred that businesses in Davao City are thriving and are generally doing well. The number of permit applications also shows that more establishments are choosing to conduct business in Davao City,” he said.

NEW SEC RULE

📣 𝗦𝗘𝗖 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗦

Micro enterprises are now exempted from submitting audited financial statements as part of their reportorial requirements, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moves to streamline compliance and reduce regulatory burdens for small companies.

The Commission on January 20 issued Memorandum Circular No. 4, Series of 2026, providing the Amendments to the Application and Definition of Terms under Revised Rule 68 of Republic Act No. 8799, or the Securities and Regulation Code (SRC), in Relation to the Adjustment of the Audit Threshold.

The memorandum circular exempts both stock and nonstock corporations with total assets or liabilities not exceeding P3 million from submitting audited financial statements.

Previously, only stock and nonstock corporations with total assets or liabilities less than P600,000 were exempted from mandatory audit.
