Practice question

A donor's only 2026 completed cash gift is P1,250,000 to an unrelated friend. No deductions, special exemptions, or credits apply. An adviser uses a 30% stranger rate solely because the recipient is unrelated. Which is correct under amended Section 99(A)?
  1. P375,000 under the adviser's method
  2. P60,000 under the general 6% rate on P1 million excess
  3. P0 because every friendly gift is exempt
  4. P75,000 because the annual exempt amount never applies to unrelated recipients
  5. P250,000 because the exempt amount becomes the tax
