Despite government assurances that the recent estate tax regulations were “permanent,” nothing is really forever or permanent in Washington DC.
Democratic front-runner Hilary Clinton has recently proposed on the campaign trail a higher effective estate tax rate, lowering the estate tax exemption amount by more than $2 million per person, and increasing the marginal tax rate on taxable estates from 40 to 45%.
It is estimated that this will double the annual number of households subject to the tax, raising $400 to $500 billion over the next decade.
