Step-by-step explanation
The tax rate for capital gains here in the Philippines is 15%, both for individual and corporate taxpayer, after the effectivity of train law. The capital gain, if not given, is solved just by deducting the selling price to the cost of the shares. Some items here in the problem are not subject to capital gains tax because the CGT rate is only applicable to shares that are not listed in a local stock exchange. Those problems that sold the share in PSE and the likes are not subject to CGT but instead a stock transaction tax or a business tax. Other reason why it some of the problem are not subject to CGT is because it is issued rather than sold. CGT applies only through the mode of sale.
