Would the incorporator of a real estate company invest real property without any cash
investment/s?

No part of the Corporation Code of the Philippines and other related laws and rules and
regulations prohibit investment of noncurrent assets only such as buildings, land and/or
equipment to a company without any investment of cash. However, non-investment of cash is not
a practice of the incorporators because money is very important to daily operations and
transactions of a business. Cash are considered lifeblood of the business to fund day-to-day
business operations and to pay the ongoing operating expenses. The real properties (non-current
assets) are the company’s long-term investments for which the full value will not be realized
within the accounting year while the cash (current assets) are realized on regular basis.

2. Is a BIR ruling a condition to consider transfer of real property under Section 40C (2) of
the Tax Code as tax free?

gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition
