Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), entitled "An act relating to tax reform and State taxation by codifying and enumerating certain subjects of taxation and imposing taxes thereon; providing procedures for the payment, collection, administration and enforcement thereof; providing for tax credits in certain cases; conferring powers and imposing duties upon the Department of Revenue, certain employers, fiduciaries, individuals, persons, corporations and other entities; prescribing crimes, offenses and penalties," in inheritance tax, further providing for the rate of inheritance tax.
AI Summary
This bill amends the inheritance tax rate for transfers of property to siblings by establishing a graduated reduction in the tax rate over several years. Currently set at 12%, the inheritance tax for siblings will gradually decrease: 11% for decedents dying between July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027; 10% for those dying between July 1, 2027, and July 1, 2028; 9% for decedents dying between July 1, 2028, and July 1, 2029; 8% for those dying between July 1, 2029, and July 1, 2030; 6% for decedents dying between July 1, 2030, and July 1, 2031; 4% for those dying between July 1, 2031, and July 1, 2032; 2% for decedents dying between July 1, 2032, and July 1, 2033; and finally 0% for those dying on or after July 1, 2033. This phased approach effectively eliminates inheritance tax on property transferred to siblings over a period of seven years, providing a gradual tax reduction that could potentially benefit families inheriting property from their siblings.
