Should an apartment rental be registered at the BIR?

Should I register my duplex-apartment at the BIR?

If yes, how do I start? What’s the process?

Thanks.

    Up ko lang po ito. I’m also interested to know whether rental income is also subject for tax

    Ideally, you should. By registering your business with the LGU and BIR, you create a financial history for your business which you can use later for financing to expand the business.

    In practice though, many residential landlords don’t register their rental business. For the most part, many of them get away with not registering. However, there is one instance when they are forced to – when the tenant uses your property as an office (like a home-office). When they go to claim the rental as a tax deductible, the BIR will require the landlord to be a registered business also.

    In the future, I believe the BIR will look for ways and means to force landlords to register their apartment rentals. For now, many will still try to avoid paying taxes as much as possible.

    etong inuupahan namen ay hindi nakaregister sa BPLO / BIR las pinas,2 properties ang pinapaupahan nila at kumikita sila sa 2 property na binabayaran ko.since nasa leasing or rentahan sila di po ba considered ito as business dahil may revenue? di ba po kailangan nila mag apply ng business name sa DTI,barangay permit/ association permit/ sanitation permit/ permit to operate/ mayors permit etc.etc.para legal po ang kanilang negosyo?

    tanong ko lang po kung ayaw ng tenant pumirma sa contrata or lease contract ano po ba pwedeng mangyari? kaya ko po natanong kasi bago kami tumira sa property ay wala naman po silang contrata although tinanong ko sila kung may contrata sila.sabi ng may ari hindi kami nag iisyo ng contrata kaya kinuha ko ang property noong 2015 pa.pwede kaming tumira doon unlimited for as long as may pambayad kami.tapos ngayon bigla kaming bibigyan ng contrata at 1 year contract pa renewable pa.taliwas ito sa unang pinag usapan namen. legal po ba to??? after 4 years na pag upa saka palang kami bibigyan ng contrata??? tama po ba ito.

    6 years na po kaming nangungupahan sa isang commercial building. Wala po kaming kontrata dahil kamaganak po ni mister ang may ari. Wala din po silang dti and mayors permit para mag paupa. Ngayon po ay bigla silang nagtaas ng upa ng 75% sa dating upa, from 4k to 7k at sinabing yearly na daw sila magtataas ng 1k. Tama lamang po ba ito? Kami po ang nagpaayos nung building at nagbabayad ng electrical building permit niya yearly. Ano pong pede naming gawin upang maging legal ang usapin namin?

    Ako rin po magtatanong din sama, pero andami ng nagtanong kaya parang sasagutin ko na lang sana mga tanong nila kasi iba namam tanong ko.

    Yung pong contrata protection po yan both lessee at lessor para hindi ka naman basta basta na lang paalisin until matapos ang contrata ninyo at pati protection sa biglaang pagtataas. Ang percentage po ng pag taas 10% po per annum kapag below 10k pesos per month kapag po mas mataas na jan ang upa maaari na po sila magtaas ng mas mataas sa 10% monthly.
