Inheritance tax: Transfer of privileged assets
In a most recently published decision, the Supreme Tax Court held that the transfer of the tax privilege for business assets, rented residential property and family homes among co-heirs requires that the assets are conveyed in the course of the division of the estate. The transfer would not be privileged if the decision to divide the estate and thereby transfer preferential (business) assets in exchange for non-preferential assets is based on a new decision of the community of heirs, when initially they deliberately left the estate undivided.
