CAPITAL GAINS TAXATION


A capital gains tax is imposed on the capital gain on the sale, exchange and other disposition of
certain capital assets.

ASSET CLASSIFICATION RULES


Ordinary assets are assets directly used in the business, trade or profession of the taxpayer such
as inventory, supply and items of property, plant and equipment. Capital assets include all other
assets other than ordinary assets.
The following are special rules in classifying assets.

1. A property purchased for future use in business is an ordinary asset even though this
purpose is later thwarted by circumstances beyond the taxpayer's control.
2. Discontinuance of the active use of the property does not change its character previously
established as a business property.
3. Real properties used, being used, or have been previously used, in trade of the taxpayer
shall be considered ordinary assets.
4. Properties classified as ordinary assets for being used in business by a taxpayer not
engaged in the real estate business are automatically converted to capital assets upon
showing of proof that the same have not been used in business for more than 2 years
prior to the consummation of the taxable transaction involving such property.
5. A depreciable asset is an ordinary asset even if it is fully depreciated, or there is a failure
to take depreciation during the period of ownership.
6. Real properties used by an exempt corporation in its exempt operations are considered
capital assets. Exempt corporations are not business.
7. The classification of property transferred by sale, barter or exchange, inheritance,
donation, or declaration of property dividends shall depend on whether or not the
acquirer uses it in business.
8. For real properties subject of involuntary transfer such as expropriation and foreclosure
sale, the involuntariness of such sale shall have no effect on the classification of such real
property.
9. Change in business from real estate to non-real estate business shall not change the
classification of ordinary assets previously held.
Taxpayers engaged in real estate business includes real estate dealer, real estate developer,
real estate lessor and taxpayers habitually engaged in real estate business.
Taxpayers habitually engaged in real estate business include those registered with the
HLURB or HUDCC as dealer or developer or those with at least 6 taxable real estate sales
transactions in the preceding year

SCOPE OF CAPITAL GAINS TAXATION


However, not all capital gains are subject to capital gains tax, most of them are subject to regular
income tax. The following are the common capital gains transactions taxed under the capital gains
taxation scheme:

1. Capital gains on the sale of domestic stocks directly to buyer


2. Capital gains on the sale of real properties not used in business

ONEROUS TRANSFERS OF REAL PROPERTIES CLASSIFIED


AS CAPITAL ASSET
The sale, exchange, and other disposition of real property capital assets in the Philippines is
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 Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
real properties for purposes of enforcement of internal revenue laws; and
b. Assessed value, which is the value prescribed by the City or Municipal Assessor's Office
for purposes of the real property tax

Note that independent appraisal valuation, the fair value commonly used in external financial
reporting, is not used in the computation of the capital gains tax.
Illustration 6.1
Jackie sold a residential house and lot for P6,000,000. She purchased the lot when it was worth
P1,200,000 and a constructed a house on it for P3,500,000. The lot has a zonal value of
P2,100,000. The assessor’s value of the house and lot are P4,000,000 and P2,000,000,
respectively.

The capital gains tax would be


Higher of zonal and assessor’s value of land 2,100,000
Assessor’s value of house 4,000,000
Total Fair Value 6,100,000
Selling Price 6,000,000
Higher of the Two 6,100,000
Tax Rate 6%
Capital Gains Tax 366,000

BIR Tax Clearance


No registration of any document transferring real property shall be effected by the Register of
Deeds unless the Commissioner or his duly authorized representative has certified that such
transfer has been reported, and the capital gains or creditable withholding tax, if any, has been
paid. The certificate for purposes of this legal requirement is referred to as the "Certificate
Authorizing Registration (CAR)".

Nature
Presumption of capital gains
The 6% capital gains tax applies even if the sale transaction resulted to loss. Gain is always
presumed to exist. The basis of taxation is the selling price or fair value whichever is higher, not
the actual gain.

Non-consideration to the involuntariness of the sale


The capital gains tax applies even if the sale is involuntary or is for, circumstances such as in the
case of expropriation sale, foreclosure sale, dispositions by judicial order, and other forms of
forced disposition. It applies to conditional sales and pacto de retro sales

Final tax
The capital gains tax shall be withheld by the seller and remit the same to the government.

Scope and Applicability


The 6% capital gains tax is applicable to all individual taxpayers and to domestic corporations
only. The NIRC did not impose final capital gains tax on foreign corporations. However, in cases
where 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.

The sale of real property located abroad is not subject to capital gains tax since withholding of the
capital tax cannot be imposed abroad due to territorial consideration. Hence, the actual gains
realized on the sale, exchange, and other dispositions of properties abroad are subject to the
regular income, z 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.

Alternative Taxation Rule


An individual seller of real property capital assets has the option to be taxed at either 6% capital
gains tax or regular income tax. It should be noted that this is permissible only when the seller is
an individual taxpayer, and the buyer is the government, its instrumentalities or agencies
including government-owned and controlled corporations.

The alternative taxation is intended to ease the burden of government expropriation where
taxpayers may incur losses on the forced expropriation sale and are still required to pay tax.

Illustration 6.2
An individual taxpayer bought a house and lot near a highway at a cost of P2,000,000. After
several years, the government invoked its power of eminent domain to buy the property for
the expansion of the highway.

Assuming the property has a fair value of P1,800,000 for purposes of the expropriation, the taxpayer
would be forced to incur P200,000 loss (P1.8M-P2.0M) and still pay the 6% capital gains tax. This
would be too oppressive to the taxpayer. With the alternative regular income tax option, the taxpayer
would be given the benefit of deduction of the P200,000 capital loss without being imposed the 6% capital
gains tax.

Exemption to the 6% Capital Gains Tax under the NIRC


The sale, exchange and other disposition of a principal residence for the re-acquisition of a new
principal residence by individual taxpayers is exempt from the 6% capital gains tax. Principal
residence means the house and lot which is the primary domicile of the taxpayer. If the taxpayer
has multiple residences, his principal residence is deemed that one shown in his latest tax
declaration.

Requisites of exemption:
1. The seller must be a citizen or resident alien.
2. The sale involves the principal residence of the seller-taxpayer.
3. The proceeds of the sale is utilized in acquiring a new principal residence.
4. The BIR is duly notified by the taxpayer of his intention to avail of the tax exemption
within 30 days of the sale through a prescribed return (BIR Form 1706) and "Sworn
Declaration of Intent".
5. The reacquisition of the new residence must be within 18 months from the date of sale.
6. The capital gain is held in escrow in favor of the government.
7. The exemption can only be availed of once in every 10 years.
8. The historical cost or adjusted basis of the principal residence sold shall be carried over
to the new principal residence built or acquired.

It must be emphasized that the sale of principal residence must acquisition of the new principal
residence to be exempt.

Illustration 6.3
Helen sold her principal residence with a fair market value of P6,000,000 for P5,000,000. Helen
purchased the residence for P3,000,000 several years ago. The imposable capital gains tax is 6%
of P6,000,000 or P360,000.

Helen should indicate her intention to apply for exemption in the capital gains tax return to be filed and
submit a Sworn Declaration of Intent. She will be required to deposit the P360,000 capital gains tax in
an escrow account in favor of the government.

Full Utilization
Assuming Helen acquires a new principal residence for P5,200,000 within 18 months, the P360,000
capital gains tax in escrow will be released to her. If Helen does not acquire a new principal residence
within 18 months, the capital gains tax in escrow will be taken by the government. If the proceeds are
fully utilized, the tax basis of the new residence, which is now at P3,200,000, shall be the basis of the old
residence plus additional cost incurred by the taxpayer in acquiring the new residence. The additional
cost is the excess of the purchase price of the new rest over the selling price of the old residence.

Partial Utilization
Assume Helen uses only P4,500,000 out of the P5,000,000 proceeds in acquiring her new residence. The
portion representing the unused proceeds shall be subject to tax, thus, only 90% is exempt. Of the
P360,000 deposited in escrow, P324,000 will be remitted to the government and the balance of P36,000
is released to the taxpayer. Any interest which might have accrued on the escrow fund shall be released
to the taxpayer. The government is entitled to the amount of the unpaid tax only. The similar percentage
is multiplied with the tax basis of the old residence to get the new tax basis of the new residence, in this
case, P2,700,000, which is 90% of P3,000,000.
Capital Gains Tax Exemption under Special Laws
Sale of land pursuant to the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program
Sale of land under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program The sale of agricultural lands
by landowners pursuant to the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of the government
shall be exempt from capital gains tax. Similarly, interest income on the selling price that may
have been agreed by the landowner and the tenant-buyer shall he exempt from income tax.

Sale of socialized housing units by the National Housing Authority


The sale of socialized housing units for the underprivileged and homeless citizens by the National
Housing Authority (NHA) pursuant to the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 is
exempt from the capital gains tax. This exemption is limited to socialized housing units only. The
BIR ruled that the sale of the NHA of commercial lots which is not part of the socialized housing
project for the poor and homeless is subject to capital gains tax or regular tax and documentary
stamp tax. To qualify for exemption, the socialized housing units of the NHA must comply price
ceilings set by the NIRC and other special laws.

Documentary Stamp Tax on the Sale of Real Properties


The sale of real property capital assets is subject to a documentary stamp tax on the gross selling
price or fair market value whichever is higher. The documentary stamp tax is P15 for every P1,000
and fractional parts of the tax basis thereof. However, if the government is a party to the sale, the
basis shall be the consideration paid.

Illustration 6.4
A taxpayer disposed a real property capital asset acquired for P2,000,000 10 years ago for
P4,000,000. The property has a zonal value of P5,000,000 and declared real property value per
real property tax declaration of P3,000,000.

The documentary stamp tax shall be computed from the fair value since it is higher than the selling price.
Hence, the documentary stamp tax shall be P75,000 computed as P15/P1,000 x P5,000,000.

ONEROUS TRANSFERS OF DOMESTIC STOCKS


Domestic stocks are evidences of ownership or rights to ownership in a domestic corporation
regardless of its features, such as:

1. Preferred stocks
2. Common stocks
3. Stock rights
4. Stock options
5. Stock warrants
6. Unit of participation in any association, recreation, or amusement club

The capital gains tax covers not only sales of domestic stocks for cash but also exchange of
domestic stocks in kind and other dispositions such as:

1. Foreclosure of property in settlement of debt


2. Pacto de retro sales - sale with buy back agreement
3. Conditional sales - sales which will be perfected upon completion of certain specified
conditions
4. Voluntary buy back of shares by the issuing corporation - redemption of shares which
may be re-issued and not intended for cancellation

The term other disposition does not include:

1. Issuance of stocks by a corporation


2. Exchange of stocks for services
3. Redemption of shares in a mutual fund
4. Worthlessness of stocks
5. Redemption of stocks for cancellation by the issuing corporation
6. Gratuitous transfer of stocks

Tax on Sale of Domestic Stocks through PSE


This sale is not subject to capital gains tax but to stock transaction tax of 60% of 1% of the selling
price. Since the basis is the selling price, the sale is taxable whether is results to a gain or loss.

Capital Gains Tax on Sale of Domestic Stocks Directly to Buyer


When the sale is made directly to the buyer, the net gain on the sale is subject to a 15% flat rate,
except if the seller is a non-resident foreign corporation which has a two-tiered rate of 5% on the
first P100,000 net gain and 10% on the gain in excess of P100,000.

Nature
Universal Tax
It applies to all taxpayers disposing stocks classified as capital assets regardless of the
classification of the taxpayer. BY situs, the gain on sale of domestic stocks is within. The tax still
applies even if the sale is executed outside the Philippines.

Annual Tax
It is imposed on the annual net gain on the sale of domestic stocks directly to buyer.

The Net Gain


The net gain from the sale is computed using the formula below.
Selling Price xx
Tax Basis of Stocks Disposed (xx)
Selling Expenses (xx)
DST on the Sale (xx)
Net Capital Gain xx

Not unlike the CGT on sale of real properties, the gain is not presumed here. There will only be a
tax liability if the sale results to a net gain.

Since documentary stamp taxes may be paid by either party to the contract, such tax incurred on
the sale is only deducted if it is paid by the seller.

Illustration 6.5
EGA Company, a non-dealer in stocks, holds 100,000 listed shares of AKR Company, a
domestic corporation. It was acquired at P20 each. On January 5, 2020, it sold 30,000 shares for
P540,000. On March 16, 2020, it sold 50,000 shares P1,150,000. It sold the remaining shares for
P500,000 on September 14, 2020.

Scenario 1: The sale is made through PSE


The sale shall be subject to the stock transaction tax. Consequently, the total tax liability would be:
Selling Price (540,000+1,150,000+500,000) 2,190,000
STT Rate X 0.006
Stock Transaction Tax 13,140
Scenario 2: EGA is a domestic corporation and the sale is made directly to the buyers.
Each sale shall be liable to the transactional CGT rate of 15% and will be annualized.
Selling Price on 1/5 540,000
Tax Basis of Shares 600,000
Net Capital Loss (60,000)
There shall be no capital gains tax liability on the sale on January 5.
Selling Price on 3/16 1,150,000
Tax Basis of Shares 1,000,000
Net Capital Gain 150,000
CGT Flat Rate 15%
Capital Gains Tax 22,500
Since the sale resulted to a gain, there is a tax liability of P22,500.
Selling Price on 9/14 500,000
Tax Basis of Shares 400,000
Net Capital Gain 100,000
CGT Flat Rate 15%
Capital Gains Tax 15,000
Since the sale resulted to a gain, there is a tax liability of P15,000.
All sales will be consolidated to determine the annual CGT.
Net Capital Loss on 1/5 (60,000)
Net Capital Gain on 3/16 150,000
Net Capital Gain on 9/14 100,000
Annual Net Capital Gain 190,000
CGT Flat Rate 15%
Annualized Capital Gains Tax Due 28,500
Transactional Capital Gains Tax Paid (22,500+15,000) 37,500
Capital Gains Tax Due (Refundable) 9,000

Scenario 3: EGA is a non-resident foreign corporation and the sale is made directly to buyer.
The procedure is similar to Scenario 2. The only difference would be the use of the two-tiered rate.
1/5 3/16 9/14 Annualized
Net Capital Gain (Loss) (60,000) 150,000 100,000 190,000
First-Tier CGT - 5,000 5,000 5,000
Second-Tier CGT - 5,000 - 9,000
CGT Due 0 10,000 5,000 14,000
CGT Credits 15,000
CGT Still Due (Refundable) (1,000)

Documentary Stamp Tax on the Sale, Exchange, and Other Dispositions of


Domestic Stocks Directly to a Buyer
The sale of domestic stocks is subject to a documentary stamp tax of P1.50 for every P200 of the
par value of the stocks sold.

Illustration 6.6
A taxpayer sold domestic stocks with total par value of P800,000 for P1,200,000. The stocks have
a fair value of P1,250,000 and were acquired for P1,000,000.

The documentary stamp tax shall be P6,000 computed as P1.50/P200 x P800,000.


Wash Sales
Wash sale of securities is deemed to occur when within 30 days before and 30 days after the sale
(also referred to as the 61-day period), the taxpayer acquired or entered into a contract or option
to acquire substantially identical securities. Capital losses on wash sales by non-dealers in
securities are not deductible against capital gains. The wash sales rule is intended to prevent
taxpayers from feigning temporary losses which could enable them to manipulate their
reportable taxable net gain. Hence, the prohibition against the claim of wash sales is not an
absolute rule but is a form of deferral of loss. The wash sales rule is not applicable to dealers in
securities as it is normal business for them to buy and sell stocks and realize gains or incur losses
within short periods of time.

Illustration 6.7
Acquisition of identical shares before and after a losing sale. In 2019, Mr. Iriga had the following
transactions in the shares of Naga Corporation, domestic corporation:
Date Transaction Shares Price/Share Value
January 4 Purchase 15,000 20.00 300,000
February 15 Purchase 5,000 21.00 105,000
February 28 Sale 12,000 18.00 216,000
March 4 Purchase 3,000 16.00 48,000
April 18 Sale 5,000 25.00 125,000
The shares sold on February 28 were the shares bought on January 4, 2019. The sale on April
18 were the shares bought on February 15.

The capital loss is P24,000 computed as (P18/share selling price - P20/share cost) x 12,000 shares sold.
Since the sale happened on February 28, it a wash sale of February 15 and March 4 purchases. The
portion of the capital loss allocable to the 8,000 replacement shares (5,000 from Feb 15 and 3,000 from
Mar 4) is deferred and capitalized and the balance recognized as a deductible loss.
Date Computation Deferred Loss Purchase Price New Tax Basis
February 15 5,000/12,000 x 24,000 10,000 105,000 115,000
March 4 3,000/12,000 x 24,000 6,000 48,000 54,000
The deductible capital loss of P8,000 is computed by 4,000/12,000 x 24,000.

The capital gain on April 18 is P10,000 which is the sale price of P125,000 less the new tax basis of Feb
15 shares at P115,000.
