Mandaue moved its 2026 business permit application deadline from 20 January to 25 January, and business taxes could be paid without penalty until 31 January. Applications filed through the city's online system on or before 25 January were not considered late. In 2025 a council ordinance gave businesses until 31 January without penalties or surcharges.[1,2,3]
Mandaue deadlines
Filing online
The city has an online system for applications, and in 2026 online filings made by 25 January were not late. In 2025, renewal payments were also accepted at the Mandaue City Sports Complex.[2,3]
The January rule
The Local Government Code sets the first 20 days of January for local taxes and lets the council extend it. Mandaue has extended in both 2025 and 2026, but check each year.[4,3,1]
