Sorry Liam, but the maths donīt add up
From Global Property Guide
Rental Income: Gross rental income of of foreigners is taxed at a flat rate of 25%. There is also a Value Added Tax (VAT) on rents above PHP10,000 (US$232) per month at 12% of gross rent.
Capital Gains: Nonresident foreigners not engaged in trade or business in the country are subject to income tax on the gains they realize when selling properties, which is 25% without any deductions.
Inheritance: Nonresident aliens pay estate (inheritance) tax only on property located in the Philippines, at rates from 5% to 20%.
So, okay if you are looking at a holiday home inBorocay, but a bit weak as an investment.
