In Taiwan, where housing prices are skyrocketing, if you happen to own a property or a large piece of land, plus your existing savings, stocks, investments, insurance, etc., it will basically exceed the tax-free amount.
But if you don\u2019t have offspring, and don\u2019t have the kind of beloved relatives or friends you can\u2019t let go of, and you\u2019ve always lived a carefree, free and easy life, then there\u2019s no need to read on.
It\u2019s not often in the news that, faced with huge tax bills, the next generation of someone chooses to abandon the inheritance.
The main reason for this is definitely that the previous generation did not make good plans to "reserve tax sources" during their lifetime, so that their next generation cannot pay the huge amount of taxes and can only sigh at the huge inheritance.
Under current laws and regulations in Taiwan, one must first pay inheritance tax before inheriting an estate.
That is to say, before you get the large sum of property left to you by your relatives and friends, you need to pay a sum of money out of your own pocket to the country so that you can own that inheritance.
Many people must be wondering: "Why can't I just get the money and then pay taxes?"
According to the Estate and Gift Tax Act, if an estate is to be transferred, renamed, or disposed of, a "tax payment certificate" or tax exemption certificate from the IRS must be obtained first.
The real main reason is to ensure that the national treasury can smoothly obtain the inheritance tax it deserves!
If the heirs are allowed to obtain the estate first and taxes are collected later, it may happen that "property is transferred or consumed", resulting in the state being unable to collect taxes.
Inheritance tax is considered as "the consideration for the acquisition of inheritance", so the law stipulates that ownership is acquired only after it is paid.
Of course, many people say that you can quickly borrow money to pay. If it is just a small amount of money, it is easy to handle; but if you are facing a huge tax amount, how do you think you can borrow money?
The current tax brackets for estates are:
1. 10% below 50 million
2. 50 million to 100 million yuan 15%
Progressive difference 2.5 million
3. More than 101 million yuan 20%
Cumulative difference: 7.5 million
Have you noticed that there is an additional "progressive difference"? What is this money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
