Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to undoing the recent changes to the estate tax; 2 and amending RCW 83.100.040. 3
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding Washington's estate tax, specifically by reverting the tax rates and brackets for estates of decedents dying on or after April 1, 2026, back to the rates that were in effect for estates of decedents dying before July 1, 2025. The estate tax is a tax imposed on the transfer of property located in Washington, including intangible property owned by residents. The bill effectively undoes recent changes that had increased these tax rates for future estates, returning them to a previous, lower schedule.
