They’re useful to the wealthy because when the assets they hold increase in value and are sold, their creator, not their beneficiary, is taxed for the gains. GRATs fit into a category of trusts called intentionally defective grantor trusts.
Their decline is one of many factors that have contributed to a dramatic increase in wealth at the top, helping make the 20 richest Americans, including Knight, worth a combined $1.9 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Last year the taxes brought in only $17.6 billion, out of $3.4 trillion in federal revenue, according to the U.S. President Donald Trump doubled the exemption for eight years starting in 2018, so for the moment only married couples leaving $23 million or more to their heirs need to worry about estate and gift taxes at all. Bush administration, Republicans successfully whittled away at the levy by cutting the top rate and lifting the lifetime exemption for the taxes-the total amount anyone can leave to heirs tax-free. Then rates began to fall, and at the turn of the 21st century critics of the estate tax and the related gift tax started to score some major wins. The top rate steadily rose, to 77%, where it remained until the late 1970s. started collecting estate taxes in 1916, levying a 10% rate on fortunes of $5 million (roughly $125 million today) or more. "The Heirs" is directed by Kang Sin-hyo and written by Kim Eun-sook and features Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, Kim Woo-bin and Jung Soo-jung.The U.S. And in that respect, her struggles are only just beginning. But for the most part she has little patience for the brand of verbal repartee all these rich kids engage in on a daily basis- more than anything else she just wants to relax and calm down. It's textually revealed this episode that Eun-Sang is, in fact, a very intelligent girl in addition to being such a hard worker. Of course, all of "The Heirs" can be described in similar fashion. His very indirect, deliberately witty way of interacting with Eun-Sang is terribly off-putting. The way Kim Tan continues to play through this farce, while obviously funny, also reveals a discomforting part of his character. It's practically a running joke at this point that, even though Kim Tan now lives in the same house as Eun-Sang, she's completely clueless, and only knows him abstractly as "the second son". Kim Tan is a pretty messed-up kid, and his filial relations are a pretty big part of that. Neither of these portraits are terribly reassuring ones. Likewise, we finally get a good look at who Han Gi-Ae (played by Kim Sung-ryung) is in the context of dealing with her son. The main character to demand attention this episode, though, is Kim Nam-Yoon (played by Jung Dong-hwan), who has decided for reasons as yet unclear that he will be the one who forces the plot to move forward regardless of Eun-Sang's wishes. Whenever other characters start casually discussing in the most casual terms ridiculous sums of money like they were nothing, well, what other reaction is there? Fate has conspired once again to put Eun-Sang on a collision course with the overly ambitious society she really dislikes, and I particularly like the scene where Eun-Sang just spells out why the whole thing makes her uncomfortable even though she knows it shouldn't.
It's just not something that comes up that much because for the most part this drama is, appropriately enough, about "The Heirs".Įxcept when it's about Eun-Sang, of course, and I must admit I'm impressed at how well she works as a perspective character while being the only teenager in this entire cast who doesn't stand to inherit a massive family fortune. Multiple new romantic subplots manage to pop out of nowhere, and we even get a moment to remember that, hey, technically, the parents of the two crabbiest heirs are in a romantic subplot, too.

This drama has a really weird take on romance that I'm still not totally sure how to compartmentalize.
