under NIRC. However, exempt joint ventures and exempt co-ownership because
they are not considered corporations under the NIRC.

On the other hand, the distribution of inter-corporate dividend does not apply to the
share of a corporation from the net income of a business partnership due to
absence of express legal exemption. Exemption is restricted to dividend declaration
only.
