AI Summary

  • New Jersey's transfer inheritance tax payment deadline would be extended from 8 months to 9 months after the decedent's death, aligning with the federal estate tax payment deadline
  • Interest penalties of 10% per annum would begin accruing after 9 months (instead of the current 8 months) if taxes remain unpaid
  • Reduced interest rate of 6% per annum would apply when estate settlement delays occur due to litigation or unavoidable causes, calculated from the 9-month mark rather than 8 months
  • Executors, administrators, and trustees who fail to pay within 9 months must provide a bond to New Jersey in double the tax amount
  • The changes apply immediately to transfer inheritance tax payments that become due on or after the enactment date
