ESTATE TAX

ESTATE TAX CREDIT


To avoid double taxation, the estate tax paid related to
estate located in foreign countries by a Filipino citizen
or resident alien decedent is allowed to be credited
against the total Philippine estate tax due.

Tax credit is not allowed to nonresident aliens because


they are taxed only on properties situated within.

The amount of estate taxes paid to a foreign country


could be claimed as credit against the Philippine estate
tax subject to limit, if such taxes pertain to properties
which are included in the gross estate for Philippine
estate tax computation. ( Sec. 86(E) NIRC
LIMIT ON FOREIGN ESTATE TAX
CREDIT
1. One foreign country estate tax credit limit:

= net estate in foreign country X Philippine estate tax


World net estate

Or

= the actual estate tax paid to foreign country, whichever is


lower.

2. Several foreign countries estate tax credit limit:

= total foreign net estate X Philippine Estate tax due


world net estate
ESTATE OF NONRESIDENT ALIEN
For estate tax computation, only the properties of
a nonresident decedent situated in the
Philippines are subject to Philippine estate tax.
(Sec. 85 NIRC).The deduction allowed shall be
applied proportionately in relation to Philippine
gross estate. ( Sec. 86(B) NIRC)

The determination of the gross estate of a


nonresident alien will depend whether there is
reciprocity or not. If there is reciprocity,
intangible assets are excluded for estate tax
purposes. ( Sec 104 NIRC)
There is reciprocity at the time of the
death (or donation) of a nonresident
alien when his foreign country does
not impose a transfer tax of any
character, in respect to intangible
property situated therein of Filipino
citizens not residing in that foreign
country
