	Inheritance tax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inheritance tax, also known in some countries outside the United States as a death duty and referred to as an estate tax within the U.S, is a form of tax imposed upon the transfer of the property of the estate of a deceased person that is left to a living person or organisation.
		The tax is also imposed on other transfers of property made as an incident of the death of the owner, such as a transfer of property from an intestate estate or trust, or the payment of certain life insurance benefits or financial account sums to beneficiaries.
		Proponents of the estate tax argue that it serves to prevent the perpetuation of wealth, free of tax, in wealthy families and that it is necessary to a system of progressive taxation.

	Inheritance Tax (United Kingdom) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom, Death Duty was first introduced as a tax on estates in England and Wales over a certain value from 1796, then called legacy, succession and estate duties.
		For the 6 April 2006 to 5 April 2007 tax year, the IHT rate is 40% on the value, at death, of an individual's tax estate over £285,000.
		Partly due to the simple and widely-used methods which are available to avoid it, Inheritance Tax is a small, but by no means insignificant, revenue generator for the UK government, raising around £2,000,000,000 in 2001.

	Smith & Nephew - 2003 Annual Report and Form 20-F - Taxation Information for Shareholders
		A UK national who is domiciled in the United States will be subject to both UK inheritance tax and US Federal Estate Tax but will be entitled to a credit for US Federal Estate Tax charged in respect of ADSs and Ordinary Shares in computing the liability to UK inheritance tax.
		Consequently, a US citizen who is domiciled in the United States and is not a UK national or domiciled in the United Kingdom will not be subject to UK inheritance tax in respect of ADSs and Ordinary Shares.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Italians in the United States
		One of the strongest evidences of the religious disposition of the Italians in the United States is the fact that over one-half of the eight hundred benevolent societies existing among them bear the names of patron saints of various Italian towns, and in most cases a yearly festival is celebrated in honour of the patron.
		All projects, therefore, for the distribution of Italian immigrants in the United States should be made subject to these two facts: the set purpose of the newly arrived immigrant to return to Italy, and his lack of money.
		It is worth noting that 60 per cent of the Italians engaged in agriculture in the United States come from Northern Italy, although Northern Italians from less than 20 per cent of the total immigration.

		None residency in the United Kingdom does not always mean exemption from Inheritance Tax.

		The Hong Kong REIT market is clearly in its infancy and may indeed take time before local Hong Kong investors are ready to invest outside the local area, as was generally the case in the United States and Australia, where the REIT markets took years to develop.
		Moreover, Hong Kong REIT investors may not care about the potential tax disadvantages, given that dividends are not taxable to the individual Hong Kong investor and the fact that Hong Kong is a relatively low tax jurisdiction anyway.
		This tax treatment may discourage an investor from investing in a Hong Kong REIT since a key advantage for many potential REIT investors is avoiding a double layer of taxation (where one tax is paid at the REIT level and another by the REIT holder upon receipt of a dividend).

	Tax & Business Law Commentary
		The Government moved to repatriate the funds held in the Grants' offshore trusts in order to pay down a portion of the tax liability owed by the Grants, arguing that the trusts constitute property of the taxpayer which, under federal statutes, can and should be repatriated to the United States.
		One aspect of the current tax regime that contributed to the force of the political drive to abolish the estate tax in its entirety was the failure to automatically adjust the unified credit to take account of inflation.
		I would subject to income tax an amount equal to the previously untaxed contributions and subject to the estate tax both that amount (net of income taxes) and all appreciation, allowing a step-up in basis of the assets.
