A tax on property left to grandchildren or great-grandchildren with the intention of avoiding paying estate duties.
A federal tax imposed on money placed in a generation-skipping trust.
Currently, there is a $1 million exemption to the GSTT; that is, each person may leave $1 million in a generation-skipping trust free of this tax. The GSST is imposed when the middle-generation beneficiaries die and the property is transferred to the third-generation beneficiaries. Every dollar over $1 million is subject to the highest existing estate tax rate–currently 55%–at the time the GSTT tax is applied.
