Taxation, 2018 Bar — Question IV

QUESTION

Years ago, Krisanto bought a parcel of land in Muntinlupa for only P65,000. He donated the land to his son, Kornelio, in 1980 when the property had a fair market value of P75,000 and paid the corresponding donor's tax. Kornelio, in turn, sold the property in 2000 to Katrina for P6.5 million and paid the capital gains tax, documentary stamp tax, local transfer tax, and other fees and charges. Katrina, in turn, donated the land to Klaret School last August 30, 2017 to be used as the site for additional classrooms. No donor's tax was paid, because Katrina claimed that the donation was exempt from taxation. At the time of the donation to Klaret School, the land had a fair market value of P65 million. (a) Is Katrina liable for donor's tax? (2.5%) (b) How much in deduction from gross income may Katrina claim on account of the said donation? (2.5%)
