legacy tax

A tax on a legacy, often with the provision that the rate increases as the relationship of the legatee becomes more remote from the testator.

• In English law, this tax was known as a legacy duty; it was abolished in 1949. Cf. collateral-inheritance tax. [Cases: Taxation 856.1. C.J.S. Taxation §§ 1783–1785, 1792.]
