(CH) Erbschaftssteuerverfügung
testamentary disposition made as to (the incidence of) inheritance tax


Explanation:
A separate testamentary arrangement - and that can be 'opened' like a Will - see the web ref. - made by the testator or textartix e.g. for the bank's employees to lift the money payable out of certain funds charged for the purpose or, speculatively, to pay in-kind - 'I direct that the Swiss Revenue authorities take my lakeside villa in lieu of payment'.

A novel concept to the Anglo-Saxon = Anglo-Am. way of thinking, methinks

Example sentence(s):
  • 150 StG N 8; AGVE 1976, 188; AGVE 1981, 291 (Eröffnung der Erbschaftssteuerverfügung wurde später ein zweites Mal eröffnet)
