Inheritance Tax Drives $40 Million Out of New York
The graduated inheritance tax, with a top rate of 25 percent on large bequests, has prompted wealthy individuals to move securities and cash out of New York. Trust companies report ongoing withdrawals as estates are placed with executors and for safekeeping elsewhere, aiming to avoid heavy taxation. States like New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and foreign countries are absorbing property, reducing tax base and business for New York trust firms.
