The substitute would immediately eliminate the estate tax for most estates. It would do so by increasing the estate tax exclusion to $3 million, effective January 1, 2003. It would offset the cost of increasing the exclusion by freezing existing estate tax rates, eliminating the ability to claim valuation discounts by holding property through partnerships, and restoring the prior law phase out of the benefit of the graduated rates and exclusion. In addition, the substitute would repeal the carryover basis rules contained in last year's tax bill. By doing this the substitute would continue the favorable current law step-up in basis rules that eliminate capital gains taxes on increases in value before death. 4:17 PM
