In the aforementioned case, the CTA held that the separation from a company by an employee
due to his acceptance of a position in the Government could not be considered as something
beyond his control. Hence, any and all benefits received by a retiring employee/officer from the

The Partition Agreement and Deed of Allocation is not subject to DST on the sale of real
property, income tax and any withholding tax because the allocation is made without monetary
consideration and is not in connection with a sale. However, upon subsequent disposition by the
co-venturers of the areas allocated to them, the gain that may be realized by them from such sale
will be subject to the creditable withholding tax or capital gains tax (“CGT”), as the case may be.
Such sale shall also be subject to the DST imposed on sale of real property and VAT. Bureau of
Internal Revenue Ruling DA-431-2004, dated August 11, 2004.
