Hi all! Wanted to get inputs from Airbnb hosts in Philippines. Do you apply for Business Permit for your properties and further remit taxes?

Is business permit mandatory for airbnb hosts?

Hi there. Yes. A business permit is required po here in the Philippines, mostly if your property is a house. Failing to get a permit will result to a penalty if the city you are in discovered that you are renting out your house without necessary permits. Failing to pay taxes too will result to a penalty in BIR.
