Caloocan links an online Assessment and Payment portal from its Online Services page, and taxpayers can pay through GCash, PayMaya or the LandBankBiz portal and get an electronic receipt. In 2024 the city gave a 10% discount for business tax paid in full by 20 January, then moved the deadline to 22 January because 20 January fell on a Saturday.[1,2]

Paying Caloocan business tax online
The city's Online Services page lists Assessment and Payment, which opens a web portal that needs an account. Online payment options include GCash, PayMaya and the LandBankBiz portal, and the city issues an electronic official receipt (e-OR).[1,2]
Save the e-OR as a PDF and print one copy. You will need proof of payment when you claim your permit and again at next year's renewal.
The 20 January rule and the 2024 weekend shift
The Local Government Code sets payment of local taxes within the first 20 days of January and allows the city council to extend it.[3]
In 2024, 20 January was a Saturday, so Caloocan moved its deadline to Monday, 22 January, with counters open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. that day. The 10% discount applied to business tax paid in full on or before the deadline.[2]
Check the city's Facebook page and website in the first week of January for any deadline change.
Requirements and fees in Caloocan
Caloocan publishes its requirements inside a 929-page Citizen's Charter that is not published as searchable text, and we found no separate BPLO page. Treat the national list as your starting point: DTI, SEC or CDA registration, barangay business clearance, proof you can use the place, and for renewals last year's permit and gross sales. Fees are assessed by the city.
If your shop is in North Caloocan, the 2024 setup put a renewal counter at Kai Mall, which may save you the trip to City Hall in the south.[2]
