Repeal of Federal Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes

This Act eliminates the federal estate tax (often called the 'death tax') and the generation-skipping transfer tax. This means that assets passed down to heirs after the owner's death will not be subject to these federal levies. The changes apply to estates of decedents dying and transfers made on or after the date the Act becomes law.
Key points
Abolition of the federal Estate Tax for all decedents dying on or after the enactment date.
Abolition of the federal Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax.
Changes to the Gift Tax: establishment of a new maximum rate of 35% and a lifetime exemption base of $10 million (subject to inflation adjustment).
