Expected date of release of the Clothing Allowance 2025

In 2025, government employees can look forward to an increased Uniform/Clothing Allowance (U/CA) of ₱7,000, up from the previous ₱6,000. This adjustment aligns with Revenue Regulations No. 4-2025, issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), which also confirms that the U/CA remains exempt from income tax and fringe benefit tax.

Historically, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released guidelines for the U/CA in early April. For instance, Budget Circular No. 2024-1 was issued on April 4, 2024.

Following this pattern, it's anticipated that the DBM will release the 2025 guidelines around the first week of April. Once these guidelines are issued, individual government agencies will proceed with the disbursement of the allowance to their eligible personnel.

Employees are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring official communications from the DBM and their respective agencies to receive timely updates on the exact release date and any specific procedures related to the 2025 Uniform/Clothing Allowance.
