Do local governments receive a portion of the taxes collected by the national government? Local government units are legally entitled to receive a just share of the national taxes collected by the state. This allocation is determined by law to ensure a fair distribution of national financial resources down to the local level. The Constitution mandates that this share must be automatically released to the local government units without unnecessary delays. This constitutional guarantee of national tax sharing is found in Article X, Section 6, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 6. Local government units shall have a just share, as determined by law, in the national taxes which shall be automatically released to them.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
