Study Notes
Donation
- Defined as a gratuitous transfer of property from a living donor to a donee.
- Requires the donor's capacity, intent to donate, a donative act or delivery, and acceptance by the donee.
- Formal requirements depend on the property type and value. Real property requires a public instrument; tangible personal property exceeding ₱5,000 needs a written instrument; while those below ₱5,000 can be oral. Intangible personal property requires a public instrument.
Types of Donations
- Direct Donation: The donor gives directly to the donee.
- Indirect Donation: Property transferred through a trust. Irrevocable indirect donations are taxable, while revocable ones are not.
Types of Donors and Taxability
- Resident Citizens/Aliens: Taxable on global donations.
- Non-Resident Aliens: Taxable on Philippine donations, except intangible personal property (subject to reciprocity).
