TITLE III — ESTATE AND DONOR’S TAXES death of the decedent, or if the property was transferred to him by gift within the same period prior to his death; and Twenty percent (20%) of the value, if the prior decedent died more than four (4) years but not more than five (5) years prior to the death of the decedent, or if the property was transferred to him by gift within the same period prior to his death. These deductions shall be allowed only where a donor’s tax or estate tax imposed under this Title was finally determined and paid by or on behalf of such donor, or the estate of such prior decedent, as the case may be, and only in the amount finally determined as the value of such property in determining the value of the gift, or the gross estate of such prior decedent, and only to the extent that the value of such property is included in the decedent’s gross estate, and only if in determining the value of the estate of the prior decedent, no deduction was allowable under paragraph (2) in respect of the property or properties given in exchange therefor. Where a deduction was allowed of any mortgage or other lien in determining the donor’s tax, or the estate tax of the prior decedent, which was paid in whole or in part prior to the decedent’s death, then the deduction allowable under said Subsection shall be reduced by the amount so paid. Such deduction allowable shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same ratio to the amounts allowed as deductions under paragraphs (1) and (3) of this Subsection as the amount otherwise deductible under said paragraph (2) bears to the value of the decedent’s estate. Where the property referred to consists of two or more items, the aggregate value of such items shall be used for the purpose of computing the deduction. (6) Transfers for Public Use. — The amount of all bequests, legacies, devises or transfers to or for the use of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, or any political subdivision thereof, for exclusively public purposes. (7) The Family Home. — An amount equivalent to the current fair market value of the decedent’s family home: Provided, however, That if the said current fair market value exceeds Ten million pesos (P10,000,000),42 the excess shall be subject to estate tax. As a sine qua non condition for the exemption or deduction, said family home must have been the decedent’s family home as certified by the barangay captain of the locality. 42 104 As amended by Section 23 of the TRAIN Law.
