Excerpt from The Federal Estate Tax Law and Regulations United States Inheritance Tax The Federal Estate Tax Law of September 8, 1916, was amended by the Act of March 3, 1917. This Amendment affects only the rate of tax on estates of decedents dying on or after March 3,1917. The net estate of every resident decedent and the net estate situated within the United States of every nonresident decedent dying on or after September 9, 1916, is subject to the provisions of the Federal Estate Tax Law and liable for the payment of the tax thereby imposed. The rate of tax varies according to the amount of the net estate and increases progressively from 1% on estates of $50,000, to 10% on estates m excess of $5,000,000 of decedents dying prior to March 3, 1917, and from 11/2% on estates of $50,000 to 15% on estates in excess of $5,000,000 of decedents dying on or after March 3, 1917. The following tables show the rate of tax, the amount of net estate, and the amount for which the estate is liable.

Excerpt from Inheritance Taxes for Investors: Some Practical Notes on the Inheritance Tax Laws of Each of the States of the United States, With Particular Reference to Their Application to Non-Resident Investors This is a collection of a series of articles published in the Boston News Bureau in February and March, 1911. They were prepared for the purpose of showing to investors how seriously they may be affected by the inheritance tax laws of every state in the country as well as the one in which they hap pen to live. It was also hoped that they might be of some help to the movement for the adoption of a uniform law that will do away with the double taxation which is such a frequent result of the working of the present laws.

Excerpt from Taxation of Estates and Inheritances Under Federal and State Laws: Brief Summaries of the More Important Features; Tables of Rates and Exemptions Some States go even so far as to claim a tax where a non-resident decedent held stock in a foreign corporation which has property within the State. In such cases, however, as in the case of non-registered bonds, it is difficult, if not practically impossible, for a State to enforce its claim. Some States tax securities of foreign corporations, belonging to non-resident decedents, if the certificates or evidences of obligation are physically located within the State. Wherever a tax is imposed on the transfer of property under a will or under the intestacy laws, the same tax is usually imposed on gifts mortis causa, that is, on gifts made during life but to take effect at death. In the following pages we present a summary of the rates and such other information as may be required to obtain a clear understanding of the relative positions of the various States, as well as the Federal Government, in respect to the burdens they impose upon decedents' estates. The Federal Tax is an estate tax, that is, it is levied upon the estate as a whole. The States generally impose inheritance taxes, or as they are sometimes called, succession taxes, which are levied upon each individual's share of the estate.
