Manweller supports clarifying language on 'widow tax' exemption passed by House
"In Grant County when someone would pass away, the spouse would soon get a bill stating they owed an inheritance tax," said Manweller, R-Ellensburg. "The real estate excise tax should only apply when property is sold and there is a financial transaction for the purchase or sale of property. This legislation would prevent the inheritance exemption for the real estate excise tax from being misinterpreted. It isn't expanding any exemption, only providing some clarification of the law."
House Bill 2539 passed the House 98-0. It is now headed to the Senate for consideration.
The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn the regular session on March 10.
