The provision exemptions charitable institutions and
religious institutions from (d) REAL PROPERTY TAXES
only. The exemption is only for taxes assessed as property
taxes, as distinguished from excise taxes (CIR v. CA, CTA &
YMCA, G.R. No. 124043, October 14, 1998;
Lladoc v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, L-19201, June
16,1965).

(D) reduce his gross estate. Vanishing deduction or property
previously taxed is one of the items of deduction
allowed in computing the net estate of a decedent (Section
86[A][2] and 86[B][2], NIRC).
