• Renew your permits as early as you can to avoid long queue and for you to have time allowance to prepare all the additional documents that will be asked by the LGU
• The fees that you will pay will depend on your last year’s gross revenue. That’s why you will be required to submit a Certificate of Gross Sales or Quarterly VAT Return
•Local Government will also check your previous audited financial statement to see if which reported revenue is higher because they will assess if you have to pay penalties or fees for under declaration of your gross receipts. So it is very important to report the correct amount.
•If you chose to prefer to pay the permit fees quarterly, make sure that you pay for the three succeeding tranches of fees at the start of the quarter because if not it will result in more penalties for your business.
