Capital Gain Tax and Etc
Capital Gain Tax and Etc
capital gains from the sale of real property located in the Philippines classified as capital
assets by individuals are subject to a capital gains tax of 6 percent based on gross
selling price or the current fair market value, whichever is higher at the time of sale.
However, if the capital asset sold is the seller's own principal residence, the sale may
be exempt from CGT. CGT is computed at 6% of the highest among the BIR zonal
value, tax declaration value, or selling price, so the tax savings may be significant. ... For a P10
million property, the CGT is P600,000.
