Snowy79 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 Well that was painless. I went into the BIR. Filled in form 1904 section 7,8,10,13,14 and 21. The women asked for my copy of the deed of sale and birth certificate. 3 mins later I had a TIN. I was then sent to an assessor where I waited about an hour to be seen. He pointed to the TIN and said that's it and I was on my way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i am bob Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Funny how, since the newest President of the Philippines hates red tape, scams and inefficiency, things in government offices run the way they are suppose to.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought an apartment too, but the deed is not in my name because of the foreigners can't own . . so how did you get a deed of sale? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy79 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 As Steve says we can own condos and as such can have a deed of absolute sale on them. I was panicking a bit as I'm on a tourist visa but the women just looked at my passport, birth certificate and deed of sale, opened her computer, punched a few buttons and issued me a number. You need it to pay your annual estate tax. I wasn't going to point out I'm a tourist. No doubt if you go to Manila or Cebu where they're used to foreigners they might look more closely at the application. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthdome Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Just curious. For those who own their own home/condo (or their wife/so does), how much are the annual property taxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take the price you paid for your property or visit the BIR website to see your areas land value. Whatever one is higher you pay a percentage of that each year. I think it's 2% in metro Manila and 1% elsewhere. Edited July 26, 2017 by Snowy79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is P4800 and if you pay before Jan 1, you get a 10% discount. Maybe 20%, not sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
