Sec. 12-390b. Generation-skipping transfer tax. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 12-390b. Generation-skipping transfer tax. (a) A tax is hereby imposed upon every generation-skipping transfer, where the original transferor is a resident of this state at the date of the original transfer. The amount of the tax shall be the amount of the federal credit allowable for generation-skipping transfer tax paid to any state under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in force at the date of such generation-skipping transfer in respect to any property included in the generation-skipping transfer. If any such property is real or tangible personal property located outside this state and is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes by any state or states other than the state of Connecticut for which such federal credit is allowable, the amount of tax due under this section shall be reduced by the lesser of (1) the amount of any such taxes paid to such other state or states and allowed as a credit against the federal generation-skipping transfer tax; or (2) an amount computed by multiplying such federal credit by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of all transferred real and tangible personal property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes and over which such other state or states have jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes to the same extent to which this state would exert jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes under this chapter with respect to the residents of such other state or states and (B) the denominator of which is the value of all transferred property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, wherever located.

      (b) A tax is hereby imposed upon every generation-skipping transfer, where the original transferor is not a resident of this state at the date of the original transfer but where the generation-skipping transfer includes real or tangible personal property located in this state. The amount of the tax shall be computed by multiplying (1) the federal credit allowable for generation-skipping transfer tax paid to any state or states under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in force at the date of such generation-skipping transfer in respect to any property included in the generation-skipping transfer by (2) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of all transferred real and tangible personal property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, which is located in this state and over which this state has jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes and (B) the denominator of which is the value of all transferred property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, wherever located.

      (c) For purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, property shall have the same value that it has for federal generation-skipping transfer tax purposes.
