What An Inheritance Tax Did Saturday Evening Post
From 1898 to 1901 the General Government levied an inheritance tax on personal estates vested in a beneficiary. Exemptions applied to wife or husband and to gifts for education or charity up to certain limits. Tax rates rose with relationship distance and amounts, peaking at 15 percent for legacies over a million dollars. The tax yielded over 20 million, yet the piece argues the tax touched only fringes, reflecting broader views on direct taxation versus tariffs.
