Note: In a general co-partnership, the share of individual partner is
considered as dividend income.
Problem 13 14
1. BIR Ruling (August 18, 1959) provides that the co-ownership shall be
taxed as a corporation if the property was not divided for more than ten
(10) years. Therefore, the tax on the income of the co-ownership would
be:

Mr. Baguingans income from estate shall claim the total amount of
P75,000 personal exemptions (RA 9504) because Sec. 35C of the NIRC
provides that if the taxpayer dies during the taxable year, his estate may
claim the corresponding additional exemptions for himself and his
dependent(s) as if he died at the close of such year. Hence, the
applicability of the exemption of the income from estate amounting to
P50,000 shall take effect only in the succeeding years after the decedents
death.
