952 - Tax imposed.

§ 952. Tax imposed. (a) A tax is hereby imposed on the transfer of the  New York estate by every deceased individual who at his or her death was  a  resident  of New York state. The tax imposed by this subsection shall  be an amount equal to the maximum amount allowable against  the  federal  estate  tax as a credit for state death taxes under section two thousand  eleven of the internal revenue code.    (b) If the transfer of any part of the estate of a  deceased  resident  includes  real  or  tangible  personal  property  having an actual situs  outside New York state, the  tax  imposed  by  subsection  (a)  of  this  section  shall  be  reduced  by  an amount determined by multiplying the  maximum amount of  the  federal  credit  for  state  death  taxes  by  a  fraction,  the numerator of which is the decedent's federal gross estate  reduced by his or her New York gross estate and the denominator of which  is his or her federal gross estate.
