Problems 1 - 2

Petitioner The Philippine American Life and General Insurance Company

(Philamlife) used to own 498,590 Class A shares in Philam Care Health
Systems, Inc. (PhilamCare), representing 49.89% of the latter's
outstanding capital stock. In 2009, petitioner, in a bid to divest itself
of its interests in the health maintenance organization industry, offered
to sell its shareholdings in PhilamCare through competitive bidding. Thus,
on September 24, 2009, petitioner's Class A shares were sold for
USD2,190,000, or P104,259,330 based on the prevailing exchange rate at the
time of the sale, to STI Investments, Inc., who emerged as the highest
bidder.

After the sale was completed and the necessary documentary stamp and
capital gains taxes were paid.

Months later, petitioner was informed that it needed to secure a BIR

ruling in connection with its application due to potential donor’s tax
liability.

In compliance, petitioner, on January 4, 2012, requested a ruling to

confirm that the sale was not subject to donor’s tax, pointing out, in its
request, the following: that the transaction cannot attract donor’s tax
liability since there was no donative intent and, ergo, no taxable
donation, citing BIR Ruling [DA-(DT-065) 715-09] dated November 27, 2009;
that the shares were sold at their actual fair market value and at arm’s
length; that as long as the transaction conducted is at arm’s length––such
that a bona fide business arrangement of the dealings is done in the
ordinary course of business––a sale for less than an adequate
consideration is not subject to donor’s tax; and that donor’s tax does not
apply to sale of shares sold in an open bidding process.

Commissioner on Internal Revenue (Commissioner) denied Philamlife’s

request through BIR Ruling No. 015-12. As determined by the Commissioner,
the selling price of the shares thus sold was lower than their book value
based on the financial statements of PhilamCare as of the end of 2008. As
such, the Commisioner held, donor’s tax became imposable on the price
difference pursuant to Sec. 100 of the National Internal Revenue Code
(NIRC).

In view of the foregoing, the Commissioner ruled that the difference

between the book value and the selling price in the sales transaction is
taxable donation subject to donor’s tax under Section 99(B) of the NIRC.

Not contented with the adverse results, petitioner elevated the case to
the Court of Appeals (CA).

On May 23, 2013, the CA issued the assailed Resolution dismissing the CA
Petition for lack of jurisdiction.

1. Where does one seek immediate recourse from the adverse ruling of the
Secretary of Finance in its exercise of its power of review?
a. The ruling of the Commissioner is subject to review by the Secretary of
Finance and that of the Secretary to the Court of Appeals.
b. The ruling of the Commissioner is subject to review by the Secretary
and that of the Secretary to the Office of the President before
appealing to the Court of Appeals.
c. The ruling of the Commissioner is subject to review by the Supreme
Court.
d. The ruling of the Commissioner is subject to review by the Court of Tax
Appeals.

2. Does the price difference in the adverted sale of shares in PhilamCare

attract donor’s tax?
a. No. The sale of the shares is a bona fide business transaction without
any donative intent and is therefore beyond the ambit of Section 100 of
the Tax Code.
b. Yes. Donor’s tax applies as regards insufficiencies.
c. No. The sale of shares was made with sufficient consideration.
 d. Yes. Donor’s tax applies as the insufficiency does not arise from a
capital transaction subject to

exercise the right anytime he deems it proper.

a. VAT is inapplicable since sale of qualified hypertensive medicines are
