How Real Property Tax is calculated in the Philippines
Real Property Tax is levied on Philippine real estate properties. The tax rate varies depending on the location of the property, with a typical rate of 1% to 2% of the property’s assessed value for cities and municipalities within Metro Manila and 1% for those outside Metro Manila. The estimated value is determined by the local government’s assessment of the property’s fair market value multiplied by an assessment level that varies based on the property type (e.g., residential, commercial, agricultural).
