2027 BIR Tax Calendar: Key Dates from January to June
By Tamoogi Team
Month-by-month BIR, LGU, and DOLE deadlines for the first half of 2027, with the operative dates for deadlines that fall on weekends and Holy Week.
The first half of the year carries the heaviest compliance load for a Philippine business: the year-end withholding returns, the business permit, the books of accounts, the annual income tax return, and the first quarterly returns of the new year. This calendar lists the standard deadlines from January to June 2027 and the operative dates where a deadline falls on a weekend.
Two notes before the tables. Monthly withholding dates below are for eBIRForms and manual filers; eFPS filers follow the staggered schedule by industry group. And the BIR can still move dates by advisory, so treat this as the plan and check for circulars in the final week before each deadline.
Weekend and holiday adjustments in 2027

Holy Week runs March 25 to 27, 2027 (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday), and April 9 (Araw ng Kagitingan) is a Friday. May 1 and June 12 fall on Saturdays. The 2027 holiday proclamation may add special non-working days; when one lands on a deadline, the next working day applies.

June is the quiet month. Use it for the mid-year checks: whether your gross sales are heading past the ₱3 million VAT threshold, whether the 8% election still makes sense, and whether any permit, DTI business name, or lease comes up for renewal in the second half.
Deadlines that depend on your own dates
Some obligations don’t follow the calendar:
- DTI business name renewal falls due five years after registration, with a 90-day filing window before expiry. See the DTI renewal guide.
- SEC General Information Sheet is due within 30 days after the annual stockholders’ meeting.
- SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions are remitted monthly on each agency’s schedule, which depends on your employer number or the month covered.
- Barangay clearance renews with the business permit but is issued by the barangay, which may have its own January hours.
Put the fixed dates on the calendar now, with reminders a week ahead, and add the ones that depend on your registration dates as you confirm them. The second-half 2026 calendar covers the months before this one.
Questions and answers
Common questions
- When is the annual income tax return due in 2027?
- Thursday, April 15, 2027, for individuals (Forms 1701 and 1701A) and calendar-year corporations (Form 1702). It is a weekday, so no adjustment applies unless the BIR issues an extension.
- Which January 2027 deadlines move because of the weekend?
- January 10 is a Sunday, so the monthly withholding remittances move to Monday, January 11. January 30 is a Saturday and January 31 is a Sunday, so the computerized books registration, the inventory list, Form 1604-C, Form 2316, and the fourth-quarter 1601-EQ all move to Monday, February 1, 2027.
- When is business permit renewal due in 2027?
- Wednesday, January 20, 2027, under the Local Government Code. Some cities extend it by ordinance; wait for your LGU's announcement before relying on an extension.
- Does Holy Week 2027 affect any deadlines?
- Maundy Thursday and Good Friday fall on March 25 and 26, 2027. No standard BIR deadline lands on those days, but the monthly returns due April 10 (a Saturday) move to Monday, April 12, and banks are closed over the long weekend, so plan payments for the week before.
- When is the first-quarter 1701Q due in 2027?
- The statutory date is May 15, which is a Saturday in 2027, so the operative deadline is Monday, May 17, 2027. The corporate 1702Q for the first quarter is due May 30, a Sunday, so it moves to Monday, May 31.
