    In reply, please be informed that gifts in favor of an educational and/or charitable,
    religious, cultural or social welfare corporation, institution, accredited nongovernment
    organization, trust or philanthropic organization or research institution or organization
    is exempt from the payment of the donor's tax pursuant to Section 101 (A) (3) of the
    Tax Code of 1997, as amended, subject to the condition that not more than 30% of said
    gift shall be used by the donee for administration purposes.
    Inasmuch as the Prior Provincial of the Augustinian Province of Santo Niño de
    Cebu-Philippines, Inc. is a religious corporation sole, any donation to it is exempt from
    the payment of donor's tax pursuant to the above provisions of the Tax Code subject to
    the condition that not more than thirty percent (30%) of said donation shall be used by
    the donee for administration purposes. In case of donation of real property, the
    Register of Deeds shall annotate this condition at the back of the TCT/OCT because
    failure to comply with the said condition shall be a ground for the revocation of the
    exemption from the payment of the donor's tax.
    Section 185 of Revenue 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 aforesaid deed of donation is
    likewise, not subject to the documentary stamp tax prescribed under Section 196 of
    the Tax Code, as amended, but only to the documentary stamp tax of P15.00 imposed
    under Section 188 of the same Code. (BIR Ruling No. 300-2011 dated August 12, 2011)
    Furthermore, if the donor is a VAT-registered person and the donation is an
    ordinary asset, the donation is subject to VAT pursuant to Section 4.106-7 of Revenue
    Regulations (RR) No. 16-2005, as amended, the same being considered a transaction
    deemed sale. But, if the donor is not a VAT-registered person, the donation is exempt
    from VAT. THIcCA

    It is to be noted that if the same property acquired by donation is subsequently


    conveyed by way of sale or exchange, the sale will be subject to corporate income tax
    on the gain realized which is determined by deducting from the gross selling price the
    historical cost or the adjusted basis thereof, as it would be in the hands of the donor,
    pursuant to Section 27 in relation to Section 101, both of the Tax Code of 1997, as
    amended, and consequently to the creditable expanded withholding tax under Section
    2.57.2 of RR No. 2-98, as amended. If Prior Provincial of the Augustinian Province of
    Santo Niño de Cebu-Philippines, Inc. donates the same property donated to it to a non-
    exempt donee, it shall be liable for donor's tax pursuant to Section 98 of the Tax Code
    of 1997, as amended.
    This ruling is being issued on the basis of the foregoing facts as represented.

    However, if upon investigation, it will be disclosed that the facts are different, then this
    ruling shall be considered null and void.

    Very truly yours,

    (SGD.) KIM S. JACINTO-HENARES
