Classification of Taxpayer’s Properties
1. Ordinary Assets – assets used in business
- Assets held for sale such as inventory.
- Assets held for use such as supplies and items of PPE like buildings, property improvements,
and equipment.
2. Capital Assets – any asset other than ordinary assets.
- Personal assets of individual taxpayers that are not used in business
- Business assets—financial assets such as cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, and
investments. Intangible assets such as patents, copyrights, leasehold rights, and franchise
rights.
Disposal of Property
Properties that are disposed will base its asset classification depending on the acquirer’s intention
of usage.
• Gains from other capital assets are subject to regular income tax.
Capital Gain on the Sale, Exchange, and Other Disposition of Domestic Stocks Directly to Buyer
➢ Wash Sales Rule – Involves the sale of shares at a loss, but the same shares were effectively re-
acquired 30 days before or 30 days after the losing sale by a covering acquisition.
- The loss from the losing sale shall be deferred and added to the tax basis of the replacement
shares because the loss is a fake loss.
- If replacement shares are less than the shares sold, only the portion covered with
replacement shares shall be a deferred loss and the portion without replacement shares is a
deductible realized loss.
➢ Tax-Free Exchanges
Merger or Consolidation – Gain or losses on share-for-share swaps pursuant to a plan of merger or
consolidation will not be recognized for taxation purposes.
Initial Acquisition of Control – Gain or loss shall not be recognized. The law views the initial
acquisition of corporate control by not more than five persons as an investing transaction, rather
than an income-generating transaction.
➢ Exchange Not Solely for Stocks – If stocks are exchanged not solely for stocks but with other
considerations such as cash and other properties, the gains but not losses are recognized up to the
extent of cash and other properties received.
Total consideration received/selling price xxx
Less: Cost of stocks exchanged xxx
Indicated gain xxx
1. Domestic stocks sold by a security dealer – CGT is nil because domestic stocks are ordinary
assets to a security dealer.
2. Sale of domestic bonds by a non-dealer of securities – CGT is nil because domestic bonds are
debt instruments, not an equity instrument like stocks.
3. Exchange of stocks for other securities (domestic stocks for bonds) – gains are subject to CGT
because it is not a share-for-share swap pursuant to a plan of merger or consolidation.
4. Issuance of stocks in exchange for properties is not subject to CGT because it does not
represent investment in the shares of another corporation. Share premium is part of
corporate capital, not an income.
5. Sale of stocks ex-dividend – Between the date of record and the date of payment, the seller
receives the dividends. The price of stocks on those dates includes only the selling price of the
stocks.
6. Sale of stocks dividend-on – Between the date of declaration and the date of record, the
buyer shall receive the dividends. Selling price = price of the stocks + dividends on the stocks.
Note: Dividends are subject to 10% FT.
Sale, Exchange, and other Disposition of Real Property Classified as Capital Asset Located in the
Philippines
- Subject to a tax of 6% of the selling price or the fair value, whichever is higher.
Under the NIRC, the fair value of real property is whichever is higher of the
a. Zonal Value, which is the value prescribed by the CIR for real properties for purposes of
enforcement of internal revenue laws, and
b. Fair Market Value, as shown in the schedule of market values of the Provincial and City Assessors.
Normally, only land has zonal value but both land and improvements have fair market value.
Nature of the 6% Capital Gains Tax
a. Presumption of capital gains – 6% CGT applies even if the sale transaction resulted to a loss. Gain
is always presumed to exist. The basis of taxation is whichever is the highest of the selling price,
zonal, value, and fair market value, not the actual gain.
b. Non-consideration to the involuntariness of the sale – applies in cases of expropriation sale,
foreclosure sale, dispositions by judicial order, and other forms of forced disposition.
c. Final tax – CGT shall be withheld by the buyer against the selling price and remit the same to the
government.
Scope and Applicability of the 6% CGT
• Within the Philippines > all individuals > domestic corporations only
• Outside the Philippines > not applicable
In cases when foreign corporations realize gains from the sale of real property classified as
capital assets, the capital gain shall be subject to the regular income tax.
Actual gains realized on the sale, exchange, and other dispositions of properties abroad are
subject to the regular income tax if the taxpayer is taxable on global income such as resident citizens and
domestic corporations.
For all other taxpayers, the capital gain realized abroad is exempt.
1. Sale o socialized housing units by the National Housing Authority – for the
underprivileged and homeless citizens.
Payment of the 6% CGT in Installment
