This pertains to the sale of the Hilaga Property, a previously operating entity
of TIEZA. The said sale was subjected to Value Added Tax pursuant to
Revenue Regulation No. 4-07. However, although this was subjected to VAT,
TIEZA did not consider the same as income, instead recognizing the sale as
a liability. This is pursuant to Section 54 of Republic Act No. 9593:
1. Implied trust was created when TIEZA sold the Hilaga Property and
held the proceeds in trust for the Tourism Promotions Trust (TPT).
Article 1453 of the Civil Code defines implied trust in the following
manner, among others:
xxx Article 1453. When property is conveyed to a
person in reliance upon his declared intention to
hold it for, or transfer it to another or the grantor,
there is an implied trust in favor of the person
whose benefit is contemplated. xxx
Thus, the sale of Hilaga Property is neither a gain not a profit but is
treated as trust liability to Tourism Promotions Trust, since TIEZA has the
obligation to remit the proceeds after deducting all the cost directly
attributable to said sale. Ergo, not being an income realized by TIEZA, said sale
should not be included in the computation of income tax.
