When will ACR Annual reporting start in 2018?

[PaulB]

Hi All

I would like to ask if anyone currently in the Philippines would know when the 2018 ACR Annual reporting might start? I am planning to come over for Christmas but only have 2 weeks off work so wanted to find out when I can report so I can plan the dates as would like to do this whilst there.

Any update or advice appreciated. So far I am thinking of flying in on the 21st Dec and back out on the 4th Jan with doing my reporting on the 3rd Jan 2018.

Appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

Paul

As far as I am aware, it has to done in the first 60 days of the year.

100% Agree!  And yet I will add . . .  . in which the BI is open.  Which means you can't do it on Jan 1st as it is an obvious holiday and Jan 2nd 3rd and 4th are anybody's guess.

You should be good with Jan 3, but I would suggest to try to contact them and make sure is has not be declared a non-working holiday.  They are normally good at posting advisories.

I do understand the logic behind the law... but I really do think 'fixers' might not be such a bad idea!

You should be careful that they don`t want to keep your passport for a few days.Stranger things have happened.

Annual report must be done in person.
