Inheritance tax rate

For inheritance tax calculation, the total inheritance tax is calculated by subtracting debt and funeral expenses and basic deductions from the total inherited property and multiplying the statutory inheritance amount of each heir by the following tax rate

By proportionally dividing the total inheritance tax according to the inherited property value of each person from the total inheritance tax and deducting the tax deduction such as tax reduction of the spouse will be the inheritance tax amount of each heir

Tax deduction for inheritance tax includes spouse tax reduction, gift tax deduction, minor deduction, deduction for persons with disabilities, deduction for inheritance, foreign tax credit etc.

If the person who got the property is a spouse, parent or child other than the decedent, add 20% of the inheritance tax amount before deducting the tax deduction and subtract the tax credit deduction
