Facts:
In 1968, ASC through its Board issued a resolution for the redemption
of shares from Soriano’s estate purportedly for the planned “Filipinization”
of ASC. Eventually, 108,000 shares were redeemed from the Soriano
Estate. In 1973, a tax audit was conducted. Eventually, the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue (CIR) issued an assessment against ASC for
deficiency withholding tax-at-source. The CIR explained that when the
redemption was made, the estate profited (because ASC would have to
pay the estate to redeem), and so ASC would have withheld tax payments
from the Soriano Estate yet it remitted no such withheld tax to the
government.
ASC averred that it is not duty bound to withhold tax from the estate
because it redeemed the said shares for purposes of “Filipinization” of ASC
and also to reduce its remittance abroad.

The payment of documentary stamp taxes is done at the time the act
is done or transaction had and the tax base for the computation of
documentary stamp taxes on life insurance policies under Section 183 is
the amount fixed in policy, unless the interest of a person insured is
susceptible of exact pecuniary measurement. the amount fixed in the policy
is the figure written on its face and whatever increases will take effect in the
future by reason of the "automatic increase clause" embodied in the policy
without the need of another contract.
It is clear from Section 173 that the payment of documentary stamp taxes is
done at the time the act is done or transaction had and the tax base for the
computation of documentary stamp taxes on life insurance policies under
Section 183 is the amount fixed in policy, unless the interest of a person
insured is susceptible of exact pecuniary measurement. What then is the
amount fixed in the policy? Logically, we believe that the amount fixed in
the policy is the figure written on its face and whatever increases will take
effect in the future by reason of the "automatic increase clause" embodied
in the policy without the need of another contract.
