InterestedObserver Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 As far as I know the Transfer Tax (2%) is payable whenever the property Title Deed is transferred at the Land Office. Individual Withholding Tax (Income Tax) and Specific Business Tax is not collected on inherited property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2% Transfer Tax-is that based on the original appraised value of the property -or the market price at the time of transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Government appraised value or declared sale price, whichever is greater. Most people do not declare the actual sale price. Unless you need a tax receipt for the actual sale price, there is no point in telling everybody what the property sold for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
