The generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax is imposed on taxable transfers of interests in property located outside the United States as well as property located inside the United States. See instructions.
Note: To avoid application of the deemed allocation rules, Form 706 and Schedule R (Form 706) should be filed to allocate the GST exemption to trusts that may later have taxable terminations or distributions under section 2612 even if the form is not required to be filed to report estate or GST tax.
