These vary by employer category and the last digit of your employer registration number, but general guidance:

• SSS — contributions due by the last day of the month following the applicable month (e.g., January contributions due by February 29/28)
• PhilHealth — contributions typically due by the last day of the current month
• Pag-IBIG — contributions typically due within the first 10 business days of the following month

Always verify current schedules on the SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG websites — contribution schedules are subject to change.

How to Never Miss a Deadline

Build a Personalised Calendar

Not all deadlines apply to everyone. Determine which taxes apply to your situation:
- Are you VAT-registered or non-VAT?
- Do you have employees (withholding on compensation)?
- Are you an individual or a corporation?
- Do you have a standard December 31 fiscal year or a different one?

Then build a calendar with only the deadlines that apply to you.

Use Two-Week Advance Reminders

Set calendar reminders two weeks before every deadline. This gives you time to gather documents, resolve discrepancies, and file without rushing.

Engage an Accountant on Retainer

The most reliable way to never miss a deadline is to have a professional whose job includes tracking them for you. An accountant on monthly retainer with AskAccountant handles your filing calendar so you can focus on running your business.

The cost of a retainer is a fraction of the cost of even one penalty. Book a consultation today.
