1. With selling price not exceeding P1,700,000.00. What is the registration fee if the selling price is P1,000,000.00?
If the selling price is 1,000,000.00, the registration fee would be P5,546, based on the Registration Fee table.
2. With selling price exceeding P1,700,000.00. What is the registration fee if the selling price is P2,000,000.00?
Since the selling price is greater than 1,700,000.00, we need to add P90.00 for everyP20,000.00 or fraction thereof; in excess of
P1,700,000.00, in addition to the fee of 8,796.00
Registration Fee = ((P2,000,000.00 P1,700,000.00)/P20,000.00)xP90.00 + P8,796.00
