Book Description
Excerpt from The Death Duties: Comprising Estate, Legacy and Succession Duties, With Decided Cases, Forms, Notes on Practice and the Text of the Statutes HE second edition of this work was exhausted some time ago, but the preparation of a further Edition was held over on account of the War. Since the last publication there have been many im portant judicial decisions and statutory changes, the latter relating chiefly to the estates of those killed in the Great War and to concessions connected with the various War Loan issues. Finally, the Finance Act of last year raised the rate of interest on duty to £4 per cent. And increased the rates of Estate Duty with a View to augment ing the annual yield from that duty by The estimated revenue from Death Duties thus now stands at as compared with in 1818, which was the first complete year for the United Kingdom of this form of taxation. Besides incorporating the new matter, I have largely re-written the book and extended its scope, and as it seems to have established for itself a permanent place among the law books on this increasingly important subject; I hope the present Edition may'be found to meet still more fully the needs of the legal profession, accountants, students and others, in dealing with the difficulties of Death Duty taxation.
