RPT

Real Property Tax

Definition

An annual tax imposed on real property based on its assessed value. The rate varies: Metro Manila has a 2% rate while provinces have 1%. RPT is paid quarterly or annually to the local Treasurer's Office where the property is located.

Examples

  • A property with ₱1M assessed value in Makati: RPT = ₱1M × 2% = ₱20,000/year
  • RPT is due every March 31 if paid annually, or quarterly

Tips & Best Practices

  • Pay by January 31 to get early payment discount (10-20%)
  • RPT delinquency can lead to property auction
  • Always verify RPT status before buying any property
