September 3, 1968 BIR RULING NO. 017-68 Mr. Jose J. Malinit 1059 Miguelin St., M a n i l a S i r : In reply to your letter dated March 28, 1968, I have the honor to inform you that pursuant to Section 194(s) of the Tax Code a person leasing or renting property for an aggregate amount of P4,000.00 or more a year is considered as engaged in business as real estate dealer and as such, subject to the real estate dealer's fixed tax imposed by Section 182(A)(3)(s) of the same Code, the amount of which is P150.00, if the gross annual rental received does not exceed P10,000.00; P300.00, if it exceeds P10,000.00 but does not exceed P30,000.00; and P500.00, if it exceeds P30,000.00. If, as represented in your aforesaid letter, your gross annual rental amounts to P2,000.00 only, you are not considered a real estate dealer and therefore, not subject to the real estate dealer's fixed tax. Very truly yours, (SGD.) MISAEL P. VERA Commissioner of Internal Revenue
