To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the unified credit against the estate and gift tax and to simplify the estate and gift tax rates.

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the estate and gift tax, to: (1) increase the basic exclusion amount from $5 million to $50 million; (2) modify the required inflation adjustment for the basic exclusion amount; and (3) replace the existing rate schedule, which ranges from 18% to 40% depending on the amount of the estate or gift, with a single 20% rate.
