Death Tax Repeal Act of 2023

Summary of Bill S 1108

Bill 118 s 1108, also known as the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of repealing the estate tax, commonly referred to as the "death tax." The estate tax is a tax imposed on the transfer of the estate of a deceased person.

The bill seeks to eliminate this tax entirely, which has been a contentious issue among lawmakers and the public for many years. Proponents of the bill argue that the estate tax is unfair and burdensome, as it can result in double taxation of assets that have already been taxed during the deceased person's lifetime.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that the estate tax is necessary to prevent the concentration of wealth among a small number of individuals and to promote a more equitable distribution of wealth in society. If passed, the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2023 would have significant implications for the federal government's revenue stream and could potentially impact the distribution of wealth in the country. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, and its fate remains uncertain.
