What is the Maryland estate tax? What is the tax rate? The Maryland estate tax is a transfer tax imposed on the transfer of assets from an estate. The tax rate is limited to 16 percent of the amount that the estate value exceeds $1,000,000. It is based on the maximum credit for state death taxes allowable under § 2011 of the Internal Revenue Code. It is calculated by deducting the inheritance tax paid to the Register of Wills from the allowable credit. Note: For decedents dying after December 31, 2001, the maximum allowable credit for state death taxes will not be reduced, for purposes of the Maryland estate tax, by any act of Congress enacted on or after January 1, 2001. See What legislative changes affect the Maryland estate tax?If the inheritance tax paid is equal to or exceeds Maryland's determination of the credit for state death taxes, no Maryland estate tax is due.
