A large gift can trigger donor's tax

The Philippines charges 6% donor's tax on total taxable gifts above PHP 250,000 in a calendar year.

The donor pays it, even when the person receiving the money lives abroad.

BIR Form 1800 is due within 30 days of the gift.

This does not make every family payment a taxable donation, but a large personal gift should be checked before sending.

The BIR's Form 1800 guidance explains the threshold, rate and filing deadline.

Philippine payment rails

InstaPay, PESONet, Maya, etc. move PHP between Philippine accounts only.

Some companies allow these as funding methods, but neither can be used to send international transfers to Sri Lanka.

GCash can be used for international transfers, but it is limited and usually more expensive.

PDIC protection

PDIC protects eligible deposits held with a member bank.

It does not protect a transfer after the money has left your bank or a balance held with a non-bank transfer company.

If a BSP-supervised company does not resolve a complaint, you can escalate it through the BSP Online Buddy.
