SUGGESTED ANSWERS
Chapter 7: Dealings in Property
If the shareholder is a corporation, the capital gain is taxable in full. If the shareholder is an
individual and the stocks were held for more than 12 months, the capital gain is taxable only to
the extent of 50% thereof, [Sec. 39 (B), NIRC].
The authors believe that the rule on holding period on shares of stock is applicable in case of
liquidating dividend. However if the shares of stock is sold through the stock market or the direct
to the buyer, the holding period does not apply because the sales are subject to percentage tax or
capital gains tax which are final taxes in nature. [Sec. 6 (c, 3), Rev. Regs. No. 2-82]
