(a) A tax is hereby imposed upon every generation-skipping transfer, where the original transferor is a resident of this state at the date of the original transfer. The amount of the tax shall be the amount of the federal credit allowable for generation-skipping transfer tax paid to any state under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in [force at the date of such generation-skipping transfer] effect as of January 1, 2001, in respect to any property included in the generation-skipping transfer. If any such property is real or tangible personal property located outside this state and is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes by any state or states other than the state of Connecticut for which such federal credit is allowable, the amount of tax due under this section shall be reduced by the lesser of (1) the amount of any such taxes paid to such other state or states and allowed as a credit against the federal generation-skipping transfer tax in effect as of January 1, 2001; or (2) an amount computed by multiplying such federal credit by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of all transferred real and tangible personal property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes and over which such other state or states have jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes to the same extent to which this state would exert jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes under this chapter with respect to the residents of such other state or states, and (B) the denominator of which is the value of all transferred property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, wherever located.

(b) A tax is hereby imposed upon every generation-skipping transfer, where the original transferor is not a resident of this state at the date of the original transfer but where the generation-skipping transfer includes real or tangible personal property located in this state. The amount of the tax shall be computed by multiplying (1) the federal credit allowable for generation-skipping transfer tax paid to any state or states under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in [force at the date of such generation-skipping transfer] effect as of January 1, 2001, in respect to any property included in the generation-skipping transfer by (2) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of all transferred real and tangible personal property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, which is located in this state and over which this state has jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes, and (B) the denominator of which is the value of all transferred property which is subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, wherever located.

(c) For purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, property shall have the same value that it has for federal generation-skipping transfer tax purposes as provided in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, in effect as of January 1, 2001.

Sec. 78. Subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of section 12-391 of the general statutes are repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage and applicable to estates of decedents who die on or after January 1, 2003):

(a) A tax is imposed upon the transfer of the estate of each person who at the time of death was a resident of this state. The amount of the tax shall be the amount of the federal credit allowable for estate, inheritance, legacy and succession taxes paid to any state or the District of Columbia under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in [force at the date of such decedent's death] effect as of January 1, 2001, in respect to any property owned by such decedent or subject to such taxes as part of or in connection with the estate of such decedent. If real or tangible personal property of such decedent is located outside of this state and is subject to estate, inheritance, legacy, or succession taxes by any state or states, other than the state of Connecticut, or by the District of Columbia for which such federal credit is allowable, the amount of tax due under this section shall be reduced by the lesser of: (1) The amount of any such taxes paid to such other state or states or said district and allowed as a credit against the federal estate tax in effect as of January 1, 2001; or (2) an amount computed by multiplying such federal credit by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of that part of the decedent's gross estate over which such other state or states or said district have jurisdiction for estate tax purposes to the same extent to which this state would assert jurisdiction for estate tax purposes under this chapter with respect to the residents of such other state or states or said district, and (B) the denominator of which is the value of the decedent's gross estate. Property of a resident estate over which this state has jurisdiction for estate tax purposes includes real property situated in this state, tangible personal property having an actual situs in this state, and intangible personal property owned by the decedent, regardless of where it is located. The amount of any estate tax imposed under this subsection shall also be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of any tax that is imposed under chapter 216 and that is actually paid to this state.

(b) A tax is imposed upon the transfer of the estate of each person who at the time of death was a nonresident of this state, the amount of which shall be computed by multiplying (1) the federal credit allowable for estate, inheritance, legacy, and succession taxes paid to any state or states or the District of Columbia under the provisions of the federal internal revenue code in [force at the date of such decedent's death] effect as of January 1, 2001, in respect to any property owned by such decedent or subject to such taxes as a part of or in connection with the estate of such decedent by (2) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of that part of the decedent's gross estate over which this state has jurisdiction for estate tax purposes, and (B) the denominator of which is the value of the decedent's gross estate. Property of a nonresident estate over which this state has jurisdiction for estate tax purposes includes real property situated in this state and tangible personal property having an actual situs in this state. The amount of any estate tax imposed under this subsection shall also be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of any tax that is imposed under chapter 216 and that is actually paid to this state.

(c) For purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, "gross estate" means the gross estate, for federal estate tax purposes as provided in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any subsequent corresponding internal revenue code of the United States, in effect as of January 1, 2001.
