After the notarization of the Deed of Absolute Sale (DOAS), here are the steps that you need to

follow to get a Transfer Certificate of Title:

1. Go to the municipal/city assessor’s office which has jurisdiction over the subject property, then
request for a certified true copy of the latest Tax Declaration of the property.

2. Go to the assigned Revenue District Office (RDO) of Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Fill
out the BIR Form 1706 (CGT) and BIR Form 2000 for Documentary Stamp Tax (in triplicate
copies). Submit the required documents detailed in number 3 (below) which serves as basis for
computation of amount of taxes. BIR will return the documents submitted before payment of
Capital Gains Tax and Documentary Stamp Tax at the Authorized Agent Bank (AAB). Prior the
payment to the AAB, you will be required to fill out a separate AAB payment form, present it to
the AAB representative and then pay the amount due in cash.

3. Submit the following documents to BIR representative (including the original copies of the AAB
payment forms)

• Original plus two (2) photocopies of the notarized deed of sale

of Title (CCT), whichever applies, plus two (2) photocopies
