Payment of Loan by the Guarantor (BIR Ruling No. DA 006-2005, January 11, 2005)
‘A“guarantee” as a rule is gratuitous unless stated otherwise. However, if the obligation is “jointly” entered into by the
guarantor and the borrower with a creditor-bank, the security given by the guarantor to fulfil the obligation of the
borrower is not gratuitous because the guarantor must be indemnified by the principal debtor in case the guarantor
pays for the debt. In such case, payment by the guarantor is not subject to Donor’s Tax.
Gratuitous Donations to Associations
Associations do not qualify as exempt donee institutions under Sec. 101 (A) (3) of the NIRC. Hence, endowments or
gifts received by associations are not exempt from Donor’s Tax. All donattions to associations for tax purposes must
be covered by a donor's tax return (RMC 53-2013)
‘Onerous Donations to Associations:
Donation with an onerous cause are not in the nature of an endowment or donation. They are in the concept of a fee
or price in exchange for performance of a service, use of property, or delivery of an object.

‘Quasi-transfers involves delivery of property to another person but will never result in transfer of ownership thereto.
These are not subject to Donor’s Tax.
Donation made by a Foreign Corporation
Donation of a foreign corporation of its own shares of stock In favor of a resident employee is not subject to
Donor's Tax (BIR Ruling No. 18-87, Jan. 26, 1987). Because it should be assumed that such were given to resident
employee in consideration of his services to the corporation. Likewise, the same shall constitute taxable
compensation to the recipient.
Diminution of Gift as specified by the Donor
‘The donor may specify that a person of the donation will be given to another person other than the donee. Diminution
is not exempt from Donor’s Tax. It is merely a deduction against the original deduction but itis in itself another form
of donation from the same donor which may be subject to Donor's Tax.
Investee Company not subject to Donor’s Tax on APIC
In this case, the BIR attempted to assess donor's tax against the investee company for the capital infusion, in the
form of contribution as additional paid in capital (APIC), made by non-resident corporation. The APIC was contributed
to sustain the viability of a company's operations. While the CTA did not rule whether or not an APIC is a donation, it
held that even assuming that the same is a donation, the investee company is considered the donee. The burden to
ay the donor's tax is imposed upon the donor and not upon the donee. Moreover, the liability for the payment of
donor's tax is not transferrable. Consequently, the taxpayer is not liable to pay donor's tax. (CTA Case No, 8653
dated Jan. 27, 2016)
Gift to Government Exempt from Donor’s Tax
The BIR confirmed that the donation to the Office of Civil Defense-National Disaster Risk Reduction and
‘Management Council is not subject to Donor's Tax. The tax code is clear that donations made to or for the use of
National Government or any entity created by any agencies, which is not conducted for profit, or to any political
subdivision of the Government, by local or foreign donor, are not subject to Donor’s Tax. (BIR Ruling No. 437-2015
