Transfer taxes, defined
Transfer taxes are imposed upon the privilege of disposing gratuitously private properties. These are levied on the transmission of properties from a decedent to his heirs or from a donor to a donee. Therefore, under the National Internal Revenue Code, the two kinds of transfer taxes are "estate tax" and "donor's tax."
