                                 H.R. 1105
                       Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on March 25, 2015


H.R. 1105 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to repeal the estate tax for estates of
individuals dying on or after the date of enactment. The bill would also repeal the
generation-skipping transfer tax for such transfers made on or after the date of enactment.
In addition, H.R. 1105 would lower the top marginal gift tax rate from 40 percent to 35
percent.

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 1105
would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal deficits, by about $269 billion over the
2015-2025 period.

The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 1105
would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2016. The estimated increases in
the deficit are shown in the following table.

JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Timmerhoff. The estimate was approved
by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
