Death Taxes. DEFINITION of 'Death Taxes'. Taxes imposed by the federal and/or state government on someone's estate upon their death. These taxes are levied on the beneficiary that receives the property in the deceased's will; the tax amount is based on the property's value at the time of the owner's death.
Estate (death) taxes are frequently discussed in the media. Very few estates have to pay estate taxes. This is a tax on the value of the net assets owned at the date of death. This tax can get as high as 40%. If this person has made substantial gifts during his lifetime, the gifts can figure into the tax computation.
