Acquisition of privileged assets according to \u00a713b ErbStG<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The legislature provides relief in the payment of gift or inheritance tax for certain types of acquisitions. \u00a7 28 ErbStG was initially only introduced to promote the acquisition of business assets or of agricultural and forestry assets by deferring the inheritance and gift tax that would then become due. From July 1st, 2016 on there is only the possibility of an application-dependent deferral of the applicable tax if you acquire privileged assets within the meaning of \u00a7 13b (2) ErbStG upon death.<\/p>\n The eligible assets include:<\/p>\n The deferral of the tax on the acquisition of beneficiary assets requires a deferral application. This can be submitted when submitting the inheritance tax return. In order to avoid any late payment surcharges, this application should be made before the inheritance and gift tax is due. If personal and factual deferral requirements are met, there is a right to deferment. This can then take place for a period of up to 7 years.<\/p>\n After the inheritance tax reform on December 24, 2008, another option for deferment was introduced effective January 1, 2009, \u00a7 28 (3) ErbStG. This covers the acquisition of real estate used for residential purposes.<\/p>\n This additional statutory deferral option was introduced to prevent politically undesirable distress sales of real estate in order to settle inheritance and gift taxes. The rule applies to both acquisitions through gifts or inheritance.<\/p>\n If the acquisition includes privileged assets within the meaning of \u00a7 13d ErbStG, formerly \u00a7 13c ErbStG, such as rented out land or a one- or two-family house or residential property that the giftee uses for his own residential purposes after the acquisition, the tax office can abandon payable inheritance or gift tax for up to 10 years.<\/p>\n A deferral does not take place automatically, but only on a corresponding request of the taxpayer. The tax office decides on this application at its best discretion.<\/p>\n As part of the preparation of the inheritance and gift tax return, our tax office with branches in Munich and Deggendorf checks whether a tax to be assessed can be suspended for payment through a deferral request.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This holistic view and approach in advance avoid unpleasant surprises with regard to the inheritance or gift tax to be determined. The tax burden can be calculated, tax payments can be planned.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With inheritances or gifts, it is initially quite often not considered that tax authorities might also want their share of the acquisition.
