Taiwan's amended estate tax law makes gift recipients pay their share on gifts made within two years of death

Taipei's National Taxation Bureau explained the Sept. 11 amendment: gifts to specified relatives within two years before death, added back to the estate, now make the recipient pay a proportional share of estate tax. In its example, a grandson given NT$2 million from a NT$40 million estate owes NT$100,000 of the NT$2 million bill.
