REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 76-2007 issued on November 19, 2007 prescribes the additional mandatory documentary requirements for one-time transactions involving transfers of real property.
The following are the mandatory documentary requirements to be submitted in addition to the checklist of requirements prescribed under Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 15-2003:
- Photocopy of the official receipts issued by the seller, for purposes of determining whether the sale of real property is on cash basis, a deferred-payment sale (when payments in the year of sale exceed 25% of the selling price) or on installment plan (when payments in the year of sale do not exceed 25% of the selling price). The original copy of the official receipts shall be presented to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for authentication during the processing of the application for Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR). However, if the seller is not engaged in business, the acknowledgement receipts issued by the seller to the buyer or any proof of payment shall be presented.
- Certified true copy of the original CAR (copy of the Registry of Deeds) pertaining to the transfer of property prior to the issuance of Original/Transfer Certificate of Title (OCT/TCT) or Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) which is the subject of the current sale/transfer, or certification issued by the Registry of Deeds indicating the serial number of the CAR, date of issuance of CAR, the Revenue District Office Number of the district office that issued the CAR, the name of the Revenue District Officer who signed the CAR, the type of taxes paid and the amount of payment per tax type.
The aforementioned document shall be submitted for OCT/ TCT/CCT issued starting 2007, in case the Register of Deeds fails to annotate the information contained in the CAR.
