statement, referring to memorandum circular 35-2017
issued earlier.

“The foregoing implies that in order to be liable for the

payment of CGT, there must be presumed gain from the
sale, exchange or disposition of real property. The mere
issuance of tax declaration without any sale, exchange, or

declaration in the absence of any sale, exchange, or other
forms of conveyance is not subject to the CGT.
