Repeals article 26 of the tax law known as the estate tax

This bill repeals New York City's estate tax, which was levied on property inherited after someone's death. It directly affects individuals who receive inherited assets, as the tax would no longer apply to those estates. The bill removes Article 26 of the city's tax law and amends related administrative code provisions to eliminate references to the repealed tax. The repeal takes immediate effect upon enactment. This is a straightforward policy change that eliminates an existing tax obligation.
