1: Law as of 01 January, 2010 (Growth Acceleration Act).
2: Section 19 sub­section 3 of the Inheri­tance and Gift Tax Act contains a hard­ship clause speci­fying that, where a taxable transfer size class is excee­ded, the additi­onal tax is limited to the additi­onal transfer. For example, a taxable transfer of tax class I amoun­ting to Euro 300,800 (law as of 01 January, 2009) is not taxed at 15% but only at 11% up to the value limit. Only the additi­onal transfer, id est the amount excee­ding the previous size class (Euro 800), is taxed at 50%. The tax­payer thus "saves" taxes total­ling Euro 11,720.
