rule is to report the market value of the property at the time of the decedent’s death The compensatory damages of P900,000 is nontaxable and besides the accrued to the decedent’s heirs after death If the cash dividend accrued to X before his death but received only after death, then the additional gross estate would be P2,000,000 But if cash dividend accrued only after death, then there is no addition to the gross estate Note: If the problem is silent as to the par value of the shares of stock, it is assumed that the cost is the par value per share The market value of the shares of stock shall be the reportable amount of the gross estate, not the acquisition cost of the shares of stock A has 20% in the book value of U Corporation The book value of U Corp is P2,000,000 Therefore the reportable gross estate of A would be P400,000 or (P2,000,000 x 20%) Zero The beneficiary is irrevocable Therefore, the P5,000,000 proceeds of life insurance should be excluded from the gross estate 10 Property brought into marriage before August 3, 1988 shall be classified as an exclusive property but its fruits shall be classified as part of the conjugal property The exclusive gross estate of Mr X is P8,000,000 11 Marriage on or after August 3, 1988 shall be governed by the absolute community regime of property relation Therefore, the exclusive gross estate of Mr X is zero because his property brought into marriage including its fruits shall be classified as part of the absolute community property 12 Reportable gross estate is P6,000,000, but the entire amount shall be allowed as deductions from the gross estate as transfer for public use 13 Reportable gross estate is P4,000,000 The claims against insolvent person should still be reported in the gross estate but allowed as deductions from the gross estate 14 Since M is a resident alien, all of his properties within and outside the Philippines should be reported as part of the gross estate for Philippine estate tax purposes The reportable gross estate should be P11,000,000 15 No amount is allowed as exemption because the rule of reciprocity is applied only on the intangibles of nonresident alien 16 Since Mr T is a nonresident alien in this case, the gross estate is zero because the rule of reciprocity can now be applied BUSINESS AND TRANSFER TAXATION 5th Edition (BY: VALENCIA & ROXAS) SUGGESTED ANSWERS 10
