For discussions, view Dr Stephen Almonte’s post:
Licensed Filipino dentists and members of good standing Philippine Dental Association, are exempted from payment of Mayor’s Permit because the practice of Dentistry is an exercise of a profession and not a business concern.
This is pursuant to the prevailing ruling of then Finance Secretary Edgardo D. Espiritu on December 16, 1999 Annex A, which states:
However, a person engaged in the practice of a profession requiring government examination such as a dentist, is, by express provision of the Local Government Code, exempt from this requirement. The code instead provides for a professional tax on professionals belonging to this class. Such professional who has paid the corresponding professional tax to the province where he practices his profession shall be entitled to practice his profession in any part of the Philippines without being subjected to any other national or local tax, licenses, or fee, including the Mayor’s Permit or license fee, for the practice of such profession.

Secretary
Department of lnterior & Local Govemment
Pinyahan, Quezon CityDear SEC. RO)XAS,
Enclosed is a copy of an OPINION rendered by the Secretary of Department of Finance regarding the
Mayor’s Permit as it applies to professional dentists and dental clinics.ln this OPINION, a practicing Dentist is exempt from the provisions of the Local Government Code that
requires a person to secure a licensee from Mayor’s or Business Permit before such dentist can practice
his or her professton.Many local govemment are complying notably the cities of Quezon City, Manila, Caloocan, Paranaque,
Makati, Cebu and others, etc. with this OPINION of the Secretary of Finance, but most, for reasons of
their own, do not. As a result, many practicing dentists feel that they are unnecessarily subjected to
harassment.Maybe, therefore request the Department of lnterior and Local Govemment as the agency that supervises
LGU’s, to circulate through Department of Finance opinion for their compllance.Thank you.
Very Respectfully Yours,
