The document discusses various aspects of documentary stamp tax in the Philippines, including:
1) Persons liable for documentary stamp tax include both parties to a taxable transaction. The tax accrues when the privilege to enter the transaction is exercised, regardless of future events like cancellation.
2) The tax applies to original issues of shares and debt instruments, sales of shares, certificates of profits/interest, checks, bills of exchange, and foreign bills payable domestically.
3) Rates vary based on document type but are generally calculated per P200 (or portion thereof) of consideration, par value, actual value, or face value. For debt under 1 year, the rate is proportional to term.

1. CHAPTER 5
Documentary Stamp Tax
Persons liable
A. PRELIMINARY TOPICS
1. Both parties to the transaction
– the Tax Code provides that the corresponding
documentary stamp taxes shall be levied,
collected and paid, for and in respect of the
transactions so had or accomplished, by the
person making, signing, issuing, accepting, or
transferring the document, instrument or paper
wherever the same is made, etc., when the
obligation or right arises from Philippine
sources or the property is situated in the
Philippines, and at the same time such act is
done or transaction had.
DOCUMENTARY STAMP
TAX
-- Mark Owen Magtibay
Definition: It is a tax on
documents, instruments and papers evidencing
the acceptance, assignment, sale or transfer of
an obligation, right, or property thereto.
Nature: It is an excise or privilege tax because
it is really imposed on the privilege to enter into
a transaction rather on document.
2. Where one party enjoys exemption from
the tax
– Whenever one party to the taxable document
enjoys exemption from the tax above imposed,
the other party thereto who is not exempt shall
be the one directly liable for the tax.
Purpose: To raise revenue and not to invalidate
contracts or inflict penalties and courts should
give it a liberal construction.
Accrual: Being a privilege tax, it is accrued
when the privilege is exercised, regardless of
circumstances that may take place in the future
like cancellation or rescission.
RETURNS, PAYMENT OF
THE TAXES, AND
SACTIONS
-- Patricia Ann Encarnacion
Basis of liability
1. The amount of documentary stamp tax
payable depends upon the nature of the
document or instrument and the value appearing
upon the face thereof.
Filing of return and payment of tax
1. In general
– The Presidential Decree No.1045
notwithstanding, any person liable to pay
documentary stamp tax upon document subject
to such tax shall file a tax return and pay the tax
in accordance with the rules and regulations to
be prescribed by the Secretary of Finance, upon
recommendation of the Commissioner.
2. The liability to tax and the amount thereof
are determined from the fact of the document
itself, i.e., by the form and face thereof, and
cannot be affected by proof of facts outside of
the same.
1
2. document. The purpose of cancellation is to
obviate the possibility that the stamp cancelled
will be reused for similar documents for similar
purposes.
Documentary stamps may be affixed on
the proofsheet or abstract of transaction or
similar summary of transaction, and that a note
properly initialled by a responsible person on
the face of such document shall be made as
follows: “Documentary stamps to the value of
P_______ have been affixed to the proofsheet x
x x,” pursuant to Section 203 of Regulations No.
26 (as amended), otherwise known as
Documentary Stamp Tax Regulations. (BIR
Ruling No. 225, Nov. 5, 1991.)
2. Time for filing and payment of the tax
– Except as provided by rules regulations
promulgated by the Secretary of Finance, upon
recommendation of the Commissioner, the tax
return prescribed shall be filed within 10 days
after the close of the month when the taxable
document was made, signed, issued, accepted,
or transferred, and the tax thereon shall be paid
at the same time the aforesaid return is filed.
3. Where to file – except in cases where the
Commissioner otherwise permits, the aforesaid
tax return shall be filed with and the tax due
shall be paid through the authorized agent bank
within the territorial jurisdiction of the Revenue
District Office which has jurisdiction over the
residence or principal place of business of the
taxpayer.
Effect of failure to stamp taxable document
The following shall be the effects when
failed to stamp taxable document. Such failure
does not render the instrument, document, or
paper which is required by law to be stamped
and which has been signed, issued, accepted, or
transferred, invalid or void.
1. The instrument, document or paper shall not
be recorded;
2. Such instrument, document or paper or any
record or transfer of the same shall not be
admitted or used in evidence in any court shall
not be admitted or used in evidence in any court
until the requisite stamp or stamps shall have
been affixed thereon and cancelled; and
3. No notary public or other officer authorized
to administer oaths shall add his jurat or
acknowledgement to the document unless the
proper stamps are affixed thereto and cancelled.
(sec. 201.)
4. Exception – In lieu of the foregoing
provisions, the tax may be paid either through
purchase and actual affixture, or by imprinting
the stamps through a documentary stamp
metering machine, on the taxable document, in
the manner as may be prescribed by rules and
regulations to be promulgated by the Secretary
of Finance, upon recommendation of the
Commissioner.
(a) Payment at time of execution of document
– Section 173 (supra.) requires that the
corresponding documentary stamp taxes shall be
paid at the time “the act is done or transaction
had.”
(b) Affixture
and
cancellation
of
documentary stamps
– Documentary stamp taxes shall be paid
by the purchase and affixture of documentary
stamps to the document or instrument taxed or
to such other paper as may be indicated by law
or rules and regulations as the proper recipient
of the stamp, and by the subsequent cancellation
of the same.
The purchase of the stamp is a form of
payment made; and the affixture thereof on the
document or instrument taxed is to insure that
the corresponding tax has been paid for such
Offenses relating to documentary stamps
Any person who commits any of the acts
enumerated below shall, upon conviction
thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than
P20,000 but not more than P50,000 and suffer
imprisonment of not less than four (4) years but
not more than eight (8) years.
1. Making, importing, selling, using or
possessing without express authority from the
Commissioner, any die for printing or making
stamps, labels, tags or playing cards;
2
3. (e) In lieu of the foregoing, “the tax may be
paid either through purchase and actual affixture,
or by imprinting the stamps through a
documentary stamp metering machine on the
taxable document.” Our Supreme Court has held
that under Section 175, the certificate only need
to be issued but not delivered, actually or
constructively, for the DST to attach. But if the
certificate issued is subject to a suspensive
condition, it shall be liable to tax only when
released from said condition for then and only
then shall it truly acquire any practical value to
its owner and be considered as originally issued.
2. Erasing the cancellation marks of any stamp
previously used or altering the written figures
or letters or cancellation marks on internal
revenue stamps;
3. Possessing false, counterfeit, restored or
altered stamps, labels or tags or causing the
commission of any such offense by another;
4. Selling or offering for sale any box package
containing articles subject to excise tax with
false, spurious or counterfeit stamps or labels
or selling from any such fraudulent box,
package or container as aforementioned; or
5. Giving away or accepting from another or
selling, buying or using containers on which
the stamps are not completely destroyed.
2. Basis and rate of tax
(a) On shares of stocks with par value – on
each P200.00, or fractional part thereof, of
the par value of such shares – P1.00,
regardless of the consideration paid by the
stockholders.
(b) On shares of stock without par value, the
amount of the tax is based on actual
consideration received for the issuance of
such stock. Any additional consideration
which may be received for the certificates in
the future is of no consequence.
(c) On stock dividends, the amount of the tax is
based on the actual value (or book value)
represented by each share.
Note: R.A. No. 9243 reduces the rate of tax on
the original issue of shares from P2.00 to P1.00
for every P200.0 or a fractional part thereof, of
par value. It repeals Section 174 (Stamp Tax on
Debentures and Certificates of Indebtedness),
adds Section 180 (Stamp Tax on All Bills of
Exchange or Drafts), amends Section 175, 176,
180, 183, 186, and 199, and then renumbers
formers Sections 175 to 180 as Sections 174 to
179, respectively.
