Abstract

The Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, U.S. Estate and Gift Tax Treaties, is divided into six parts. Part I: Introduction, explains the purpose and types of transfer tax treaties. Part II: Situs-Type Treaties, describes when situs-type transfer tax treaties apply and explains how a situs-type treaty assigns primary taxing jurisdiction to one country. It also analyzes the effect that situs-type treaties have on the deductions and credits of treaty countries. Part III: Domicile-Type Treaties, describes when domicile-type treaties apply and how these treaties assign primary taxing jurisdiction. It also analyzes the situs rules that are incorporated into domicile-type treaties, the effect that domicile-type treaties have on the deductions, exemptions, and credits of treaty countries, and the general operation of the treaties' nondiscrimination provisions. Part IV: Special, Administrative, and Enforcement Provisions, discusses the ways in which transfer tax treaties enable a treaty country to enforce the collection of death taxes and exchange information with the other country, as well as issues that a taxpayer subject to a treaty may face in reporting income. Part V: Treaty Interpretation, sets forth the principles of treaty interpretation and construction. Part VI: Particular Treaty Analysis, discusses the details of each transfer tax treaty.
