ESTATE TAX (101)

Transfer tax is defined as a tax imposed on gratuitous transfer of property, rights and obligations.
Two General Ways of Transferring Ownership of Property
Onerous transfer is one where as part of the transfer process, there is a consideration or burden required from Bilateral transfers or exchanges,
the transferee. This kind of transfer is characterized by the exchange of values between the transferor and such as sale and barter. These
transferee. are referred to as “onerous
transfer”.
Gratuitous transfer is one where there is no burden that is imposed on or consideration required from, the Unilateral transfers, such as

effect upon death of the transferor. ( A tax levied upon the transfer of the net estate of a decedent to
his heirs)
2. Donor’s Tax – Which is a kind of transfer tax imposed on gratuitous transfer of property that is
completed even during the lifetime of the transferor.
On the basis, transfer tax is considered as excise tax.
Under current usage, unilateral transfers are simply referred to as “transfer” while bilateral transfers are called “exchanges”. Benefits derived from
onerous transactions are “earned or realized”, hence subject to income tax. Benefits derived from gratuitous transactions are not realized because of
the absence of an earning process. Benefits from gratuitous transactions are subject to transfer tax not income tax.

Complex transactions- are partly gratuitous and partly onerous. These transactions are commonly referred to as “transfer for less ull and adequate
consideration”. The gratuitous portion of the transaction is subject to transfer tax while the benefit from the onerous portion is subject to income tax.

are transmitted through his death to another or others either by will or by operation of law. (Art. 774, Civil Code of the Philippines).
 Will- an act whereby a person is permitted with the formalities prescribed by law, to control to a certain degree the disposition of his
estate, to take effect after his death (Art. 783,CCP) from the moment of the death of the decedent, the rights to the succession are
transmitted, and the possession of the hereditary property is deemed transmitted to the heir (Art. 777, CCP)

Elements of Succession
a. Decedent- the person whose property is transmitted through succession, whether or not he left a will (Art 775, CCP)
b. Heir- the person called to the succession either by the provision of a will or by operation of law (Art. 782,CCP)
c. Estate- refers to all the property, rights and obligations of a person which are not extinguished by his death (Art. 776, CCP)

Requisites of Succession
1. Death of the transferor or decedent
2. Estate or the mass of properties left by the decedent
3. Successors, beneficiaries, or heirs of the decedent
4. Executors and/or administrator

Kinds of Succession
Testate succession – 1. Testamentary- succession which results from the designation of an heir, made in a will executed in the form prescribed

parents and ascendants)
3. Concurring – those who succeed together with the primary or secondary compulsory heirs (i.e.
illegitimate children and descendants and surviving spouse)
 Under testamentary succession, the mass of properties left by the decedent may be classified into:

PROBLEMS
Problem 1: (Legitimes and Free Portion of the Estate)
A died leaving an estate valued at P24,000,000. The surviving heirs were his spouse, 2 legitimate children and 1 illegitimate child.
Required: Distribute the estate by applying the rules on legitimes.
Notes:
 The legitime of the children is always ½ of the total estate regardless of the number of children
 The legitime of an illegitimate child is ½ of the legitime of 1 legitimate child.
 The legitime of the surviving spouse varies as shown in table C
 The free portion may be given by the testator to anyone in accordance with his wishes. However, only voluntary heirs included in the
provisions of the will should be recognized.

Problem 2: Assume the same data with Problem 1, except that there is only 1 legitimate child.
Required: Distribute the estate by applying the rules on legitimes.

Problem 3: Assume the same data with Problem 2 except that the testator provided P10,000,000 to his secretary.
Required: Distribute the estate by applying the rules on legitimes.

Note:
In this case, since P10,000,000 was allotted to the secretary, the legitimes of the children and the surviving spouse were impaired. The amount of
estate left after deducting P10,000,000 will not enough to satisfy the legitimes of the compulsory heirs amounting to P18,000,000. Hence, the
amount to be given to the secretary should be modified or reduced to P6,000,000 to satisfy the legitimes.
Purpose of Estate Tax
The following theories have been used to justify the imposition of estate tax:
1. Benefit received theory – under this theory, the estate tax is paid on return for the services rendered by the state in the distribution of the
estate of the decedent and for the benefits that accrue to the estate and the heirs.
2. State partnership theory – the tax is considered the share of the state as a “passive and silent partner” in the accumulation of property.
3. Ability to pay theory – the tax is based on the fact that the receipt of inheritance creates an ability to pay and thus the receipt of
inheritance creates an ability to pay and thus to contribute to governmental income.
4. Redistribution of wealth theory – the tax is imposed to help reduce undue concentration of wealth in society to which the receipt of
inheritance is a contributing factor.

Basic Concepts in Estate Proceeding and Estate Tax


Inheritance – Inheritance includes all the property, rights and obligations of a person which are not extinguished by his death.
