being a donation in favor of a religious organization, is exempt from the payment of the

this condition at the back of the titles because failure to comply with the said condition
shall subject the donation to donor's tax.
Moreover, Section 185 of Regulations No. 26, otherwise known as the Revised
Documentary Stamp Tax Regulations, implementing Title VII of the Tax Code, provides
that conveyances of realties not in connection with a sale, to trustees or other persons
without consideration are not taxable. Accordingly, the Deed of Donation is likewise not
subject to the documentary stamp tax prescribed under Section 196 of the National
Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended, but only to the documentary stamp tax of
P15.00 imposed under Section 188 of the same Code.
However, the donation is subject to value-added tax (VAT) since the donors are
VAT-registered real estate developers and the donated properties are deemed ordinary
assets. Thus, the transfer is considered as "transaction deemed sale" pursuant to
Section 106 (B) (1) of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended, as
implemented by Section 4.106-7 of Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 16-2005, as
amended.
This Certi cate of Tax Exemption is being issued on the basis of the facts and
documents as represented and submitted. However, if upon investigation, the BIR
ascertains that the facts are different, then this Certi cate shall be considered null and
void.
Issued this 18th day of December, 2017.
