[edit] Clean up!
Dear fellow editors. This article needs more work.
A prior editor was apparently under the misconception that the estate tax is somehow distinguished from the transfer tax. In the United States, at least, the Federal estate tax is a kind of transfer tax. The Federal gift tax is also a transfer tax. I believe the prior editor was using the term "transfer tax" in a slightly different sense.
The article still needs more work to clarify the various meanings of the term. I will try to get to it soon, but perhaps some fellow editors outside the USA can provide clarification on what the term "transfer tax" means in other jurisdictions. Yours, Famspear 21:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

- I have now added a bit more explanation on what I believe is the distinction between the two kinds of "transfer taxes." Famspear 23:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
