3. **Capital Gains Tax**: If the property being transferred is a capital asset, such as real property, a capital gains tax is imposed on the seller. The rate is usually 6% of the selling price or the fair market value, whichever is higher.
4. **Documentary Stamp Tax**: This tax is payable on the deed of sale and other legal documents involved in the transfer of title.
