LGUs to receive P1.2 trillion national tax share in 2026
Local government units (LGUs) are set to receive P1.19 trillion in 2026 as their share of national taxes, known as the National Tax Allotment (NTA), according to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
This allocation, based on national government revenue from three years prior, will be distributed among provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays.
Specifically, provinces will receive P273.82 billion, cities P274.1 billion, municipalities P404.49 billion, and barangays P238.1 billion.
The DBM stated that adjustments to these NTA shares were made following the adoption of the 2024 Census of Population.
LGUs are reminded by the DBM to prioritize their spending based on these final NTA shares for fiscal year 2026.
The Local Government Code mandates that LGUs are entitled to 40% of the national government's tax revenue.
