Practice question

In January 2026, a donor gives P200,000 to a nephew. In June, the same donor gives P300,000 to an unrelated friend. Assume both are completed cash gifts, no deductions or special exemptions, and no other gifts or credits. The donor claims a separate P250,000 allowance for each donee. What is the correct total donor's tax for the year?
  1. P15,000, because the donor's P500,000 annual gifts leave P250,000 taxable excess
  2. P0, because each donee receives a separate annual allowance
  3. P3,000, because only P50,000 of the second gift counts and the first is ignored
  4. P90,000, because every gift to an unrelated person is taxed at 30%
  5. P30,000, because the annual exempt amount is unavailable
