Estate Tax Treaty Countries

What Is An Estate Tax Treaty?

The United States maintains estate and gift tax treaties with several countries that apply when residents and/or citizens of one country own property in another. These estate tax treaties reduce the level of estate taxation that would otherwise apply to the estate of the deceased person.
