According to the Business Permits and Licenses Division (BPLD), if all conditions are met, the expedited business renewal process just needs a few hours.

Through the City Government’s Electronic Payment Portal (EPP) System, business permits, real estate taxes, and transportation taxes can also be renewed and paid online. The City Government Website at www.tacloban.gov.ph provides access to the EPP.

Meanwhile, the BLPD OIC Gemafiel Gaspay also announced that registration sites in Robinsons Marasbaras (Lingkod Pinoy), Robinsons North (Front of Robinsons Bank), and Gaisano Real were also set up to provide ease to taxpayers.

Business renewal applications are accepted at the Business One Stop Shop from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, while the satellite registration sites are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Late applications will be assessed a 25 percent surcharge and 2 percent interest.
