Registration Transfer of Inheritance Tax

Answer
Q:
How should the heritage value of unlisted, unlisted and non-emerging company stocks, sole proprietorship and partnership firms be assessed?

When calculating the company's net asset value, the value of land and houses should be calculated according to the announced current value of the land and the standard price of the house on the date of death. The announced current value of the land or the standard price of the house on the current date is calculated, and the land value-added tax reserve is deducted. However, when the book value is higher than the announced present value, the book value shall prevail.

Q:
If I sold the land during my lifetime and died before completing the ownership transfer registration, how should I declare the inheritance tax?
A: If the decedent sold the land during his lifetime, and the ownership has not been registered to the other party at the time of death, then the land still belongs to the decedent’s inheritance and should be added to the total amount of the inheritance. As for the price obtained from the sale of the land, if it is at the time of death, The remaining part should also be included in the total inheritance tax. But relatively, there is also an unfinished transfer obligation to the land buyer, just like the unpaid debts of the decedent, so an equivalent amount of land value should be deducted from the total amount of inheritance. When declaring, please attach the supporting documents of the sale, such as the contract, payment certificate, etc.
