About the Philippines fiscal year
The Philippine national government fiscal year runs on the calendar year, set by Presidential Decree No. 1177 in 1977. The General Appropriations Act is enacted before the year begins.
For accountants and budget planners working on this calendar, the fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. The first fiscal month (FM1) corresponds to January; the fourth quarter ends on the last day of December. Year-end close, audit windows, and budget kickoff all anchor to those dates rather than to January and December. For a deeper introduction to fiscal-year mechanics, see our primer on fiscal years and the historical background on why fiscal years differ across countries.
Below you'll find printable monthly templates for every fiscal month, quarterly breakdowns, the country-specific deadline schedule, and a holiday calendar mapped onto the fiscal year so you can see where each public holiday falls relative to your reporting cycle.
Key fiscal deadlines — Philippines
These are the recurring statutory and operational dates that drive the Philippines fiscal calendar. Use them as fixed anchors when scheduling close milestones, audit walkthroughs, board meetings, and budget reviews.
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| January 1 | Fiscal year begins | Year-1 budgets become operative; new contracts dated for FY commencement. |
| March | End of FQ1 | First quarterly close window. |
| June | Mid-year reforecast | Half-year results trigger reforecast for back-half. |
| December end | Fiscal year ends | Year-end close; audit walkthroughs begin shortly after. |
Planning tips for Philippines
- Year-end close concentrates in the final 2 fiscal months; resource planning should reflect this.
- Map public holidays onto fiscal months early — non-business days impact close calendars and accruals.
- Compare your fiscal calendar to vendor and customer calendars when negotiating annual contracts.
