The Pennsylvania inheritance tax taxes assets owned by the decedent at the time of his or her death. Unlike the federal estate tax, there is no minimum dollar amount for the estate to be taxed; all estates of any value are subject to taxation. The inheritance tax return is due within nine months of the death of the decedent.
The Pennsylvania inheritance tax code charges different taxation rates depending on the relationship between the decedent and his or her heir. The rates are as follows:
- Spouse: 0%
- Charity: 0%
- Child: 4.5%
- Parent: 4.5%
- Sibling: 12%
- Anyone else: 15%
