Procedures to Start a small business in the Philippines

I know it’s easy to open a sari-sari in the Philippines, but you have to know these tips. These will help you to start your business with a higher percentage of success. Here are Top seven (7) suggestions for a sari-sari store to help you manage your business.

Tip 1: Get a Business Permit.

As your business is growing, make sure to register your store in your municipality or city. If you register, your business will avoid you in the future during the tax mapping. You might be asking as to how many business permits for the sari-sari store in the Philippines? Well, it depends on your business location. The processing fee might be 200 pesos for Barangay, 500 pesos for City and Municipality, 1,000 for Regional, and 2,000 pesos for National.


Aside from the processing fee, you will also pay for documentary stamps and other processing fees. How can you register your sari-sari store in the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)?

  • Make sure your business name processed has no conflict. Check your business name on the DTI home page
  • Submit the online application form. Submit at least three (3) business names to have other choices if your first business name is invalid.
  • Submit the application form and other necessary documents.
  • Pay the processing fees.
  • After the evaluation, you will be informed by the DTI personnel if your Certificate of Business Names Registration is approved.
  • Once you received the DTI Business Name Certificate and Barangay Permit, you can start to get the Mayor’s Permit.

Here are the procedures for obtaining the Mayor’s Permit:

  • Submit your application to the Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) in your location.
  • Get approval from the Electrical Department for your building.
  • Make your business approved by the Bureau of Fire Protection.
  • Secure a Health and sanitation Permit at the Sanitary Office.
  • Claim your Fire Safety Permit
  • Claim the business plate and Mayor’s Permit.

After securing the Mayor’s permit, don’t forget to register your business in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Here are simple tips on how you can get your TIN or registered your company.

Tip 2: Make Good Records

In every business, success is keeping good records. Keeping records will help to monitor the flow of business income. Make sure to separate the personal expenses from business expenses. What does it mean? You need to make sure that your family members will not get items from your business without paying the cost of items taken. It will help you to know if your business is earning income or losing.

Have an inventory list of all items. This inventory system will help you monitor the date of expiration and the sales of each item.

Tip 3: Buy Your Items in Wholesaler Store.

It will continue to exist because of the profits. To maximize your earnings is to buy items from the wholesaler or retailer. Purchasing from the wholesalers gives a chance to have a more significant amount of mark-up.

Also, buying from the authorized distributors will give more significant volume discounts. A bigger volume discount and less mark-up will provide higher returns.

Tip 4: Unique Products to Sell

If your neighbor is selling beauty products, don’t sell the same items. Having unique items from other competitors will give you a more significant income or profits. If your things are different, you will have more customers and higher profits.

Tip 5: Have a Complete Package

To attract more customers, make sure you have completed items that you’re customers need. If a customer wanted to cook spaghetti, make sure that you have all the ingredients in cooking spaghetti. In that way, you will avoid them not buying from your competitors.

Tip 6: Make Sure to Have Enough Stocks Always

In the business world, readiness is always vital. Make sure to have enough supply of your inventories. If your business has out of stock, it will affect your business reputations. Running out of stores will lose numbers of customers. So next time, make sure you always check your inventory if you still have enough items to sell to your community.

Tip 7: Say No to Credits

Many small businesses in the Philippines survive because of borrowing money from lending companies or any other financial institutions. If you want your business to stay in the long run or more extended period, make sure you must say no to credits when somebody approaches you.

Registration of Small Business in the BIR

A person is required to register the business when the annual gross sales exceed 100,000 pesos. If your sari-sari store has gross sales of more than 100,000 but less than the vat threshold of 3,000,000 is required to register as a non-vat business. A non-vat company is subject to a percentage tax of three percent (3%) on the gross sales.

If you have a sari-sari store or small business, here are the steps on how to register in the BIR. 

Sari-sari store is Exempted from Tax.

If you have a sari-sari store, are you wondering if what tax should you pay? In the Philippines, there are different taxes, and it might confuse the taxpayer as to what tax they are required to pay.

All small businesses, including the sari-sari store, are not subject to tax provided that the income does not exceed 250,000 pesos per year. If the revenue exceeded the said amount, the business would be subject to percentage tax or value-added tax. If it is not a value-added registered, then you have to pay percentage tax.

Related Articles:

Is Sari-sari Store Considered as Small Medium-size Business (SMB)?

What is a small and medium-sized business? Any business with 100 or fewer employees while with 100-999 employees is considered the medium size. Does it mean that the sari-sari store owner belongs to small companies with less than 100 employees? The answer is No.

A small sari-sari store is not for gaining profits but only for subsistence or livelihood. Therefore, it is not considered a small business in the Philippines.

Tax Rate for sari-sari store

Under the new tax system,  the train tax law will exempt those who are earning less than 250, 000 pesos.  This train law will exempt the owner of the sari-sari store business as long as the income is less than the exempted amount of profits. Therefore, the new income tax under train law will exempt the sari-sari store in the Philippines.

Sari-sari stores could be subject to a percentage tax rate (3%) on total gross sales or subject to value-added tax. To reduce taxes or exempt from paying individual income, you can register as Barangay Micro-Business Enterprises (BMBE).

Sari-store store is not exempted from Business Tax.

Are all sari-sari stores subject to business tax? The answer is No. If no, what is the business tax for the sari-sari store?

Marginal Income Earner or Compensation (MIC). Marginal Income Compensation is an individual whose gross sales do not exceed 100 000 annual income.

(RMC No. 7-2014)

Your sari is also subject to percentage tax or value-added tax depending on your Certificate of Registration (COR).  There are things that you can do to minimize tax from your small business. You can register it as BMBE or 8% tax, or could it be better to pay a percentage tax of 1% under the CREATE Law.

Besides, the activities of Marginal Income Earner should focus principally on subsistence or livelihood. These earners shall include but not limited to the following:

  • Agricultural growers or producers
  • Direct seller to the ultimate consumers
  • Small sari-sari store
  • Small carinderias or turo-turo
  • Drivers or operators of a single unit tricycle

NOTE: MIC is also not subject to value-added tax (VAT) and other percentage tax in the Philippines.

Person Engaged in Sari-sari Subject to Individual Tax?

All persons who earn an income are subject to tax. How about a person engaged in a small sari-sari store is still exempted from individual income tax? Yes, if the total income does not exceed the 250 000 as the thresholds. To learn more, you can read things you should know more about de minimis benefits under TRAIN law 2018. It has an illustration of how to compute tax after the individual thresholds.

How about those earning income as an individual at the same time with a sari-sari store? Do I need to file a mixed-income? The answer is NO. An employed person should file individual tax if the other income is taxable. Since income from small sari-sari is not subject to any tax, therefore, profit from your sari-sari store is not included in your tariff.

Related: New Percentage Tax – FAQs under CREATE Law

Conclusion

Therefore, any person who has a small sari-sari store in the Philippines is not subject to any business tax. It is not also subject to an individual tax provided only for subsistence or livelihood only. To the question as to sari-sari store exemptions, 2018 and 2019 are still the same. Any small sari-sari store will be exempted provided that the total sales should not exceed 250,000.

Hi, I have question regarding taxation. If the gross income of my business is greater than 250 000 PHP but less than 3 000 000 PHP, I will pay 3%?
How about if I exceed 3 000 000 ? What percentage shall I pay? Thank you.

Every comment is confusing, straightbanswer lang please because as per article above , there is no tax needed, if incone is below 100k annually, so what is the point of getting a business permit from ng LGU and BIR stuff?

Reply
    Rosben Orbeso Murillo, CPA

    Magkaiba ang municipal tax and national tax. When it says no tax on less than 100k that is referring to national tax but it doesn’t mean no fees or permit required in the municipality.

    Also, to avail tax exemptions, you still need to apply to the BIR. Make sure po to distinguish the National tax that you pay in the BIR and taxes to the municipality.

    Hi, No need to file the 2551q since you’re in 8%. 2551q is only for those who are subject to 1% business tax. Since 8% you’re no longer required to pay business tax.

Tanong ko lang po kung naaayon po ba sa batas na ang business permit ay aabot sa 7k mahigit ang babayaran mo yearly tapos kung ang puhunan mo ay nasa 10,000 lang at 3000 monthly ang gross income? Wala pong gas, sigarilyo at alak sa tindahan..

Sa Amadeo, Cavite area po kami.
Every store required pong kumuha Ng permit.
Barangay level lang po kami.. Ito po Yung breakdown Ng binayaran ko this year.

Brgy. Business Clearance ay – P500.00
Brgy. Stamp – P30.00
Business Tax Essential – P1,108.80
Document Stamp – P30.00
Environmental Fee – P2,200.00
Sticker Fee – P50.00
Sanitary – 150.00
Mayors Permit – P2,000.00
Annual Inspection Fee – P250.00
Fire Safety – P704.00

Masyado po kasing malaki. Yung monthly income mo, kulang pa pang permit yearly..

Hi Sir, kung ang Sarisari Store ko po ay registered as BMBE (tax exempt) sa DTI pero sa BIR COR nakalagay po ay Percentage Tax at 1701A ang need ifile. So need ko pa rin po magbayad ng COR at Tax, pano po if not exceeding 250k ang net income ko pwede ko po ba ipabago ang BIR to 8% tax rate par hindi ko na need magbayad ng Percentage tax?
Ano naman po ang gagamitin kong basis ng Gross Sales or Receipts pag 8% na? dapat po ba ay yung tinubo ko lang sa paninda which is usually only 10% ang patong ko kasi if base sa Gross sales kasi wala na po akong kita at mapupunta lang sa tax halos lahat ang tubo.

Reply
    Rosben Orbeso Murillo, CPA

    Kahit registered ang sari-sari store mo as BMBE (tax-exempt sa income tax), kailangan mo pa rin mag-file ng forms na naka-lista sa BIR Certificate of Registration (COR) mo. Kung nakalagay doon na Percentage Tax at 1701A, required ka pa rin i-file ang mga ito para updated ka sa BIR.

    Yung 8% tax option naman ay para sa small businesses na may annual sales below ₱3 million. Ito ang pumapalit sa income tax at 3% percentage tax. Pero kung below ₱250,000 ang net income mo, exempt ka na sa income tax, kaya baka di ito makakatulong masyado, at pwedeng mas malaki pa ang maging tax mo kaysa sa inaasahan.

    Tandaan din na kung mag-8% tax ka, ang basis ng BIR ay ang total sales mo, hindi lang yung tubo. Kaya kung maliit lang ang patong mo, gaya ng 10% na sabi mo, medyo mabigat ito kasi ang tax ay naka-base sa lahat ng sales, hindi lang sa profit mo.

    Dahil under ₱250,000 ang income mo, baka mas makabubuti na mag-stick ka na lang sa current setup mo (graduated rates + percentage tax). This way, makaka-benefit ka sa income tax exemption, at ang 3% percentage tax na lang ang babayaran mo.
