Transfer Tax Related Proposals
Repeal the gift, estate tax and the generation-skipping transfer taxes, establishing in their place a carryover basis for appreciated property, subjecting beneficiaries to income tax on the gains when they dispose of the property in the future, with an exemption amount of $5 million of gains per decedent ($10 million per married couple).
Disallow an income tax deduction for contributions of appreciated assets into a private charity established by the decedent or the decedent’s relatives.
