B. "Nonresident alien" means a decedent who was not a resident or citizen of the United States at the time of his or her death.

C. Personal representative includes persons listed in § 1-13.21, Code of Virginia.

D. "Resident means a decedent who was domiciled in the Commonwealth of Virginia at his death." § 58.1-901. The determination of domicile is a factual matter which must be resolved on an individual case basis. A person can have only one domicile. If he has two or more places of abode, his domicile is the one which is determined to be his permanent home. Consideration is given to a number of factors in determining a decedent's domicile, including the following: length of time of residence; place of birth and marriage; place of business, profession or employment; residence of family; reason for acquiring or abandoning domicile; situs of real and tangible property; location of savings and checking accounts; motor vehicle registration and licensing; motor vehicle operator's license; voter registration; membership in clubs and civic groups; charitable contributions; in the case of a minor decedent, domicile of parents; and in the case of a married decedent, domicile of husband or wife and children.

No single factor is dispositive in determining domicile; rather, the factors are examined collectively to determine if the intent to acquire or abandon Virginia domicile exists. A simple declaration of intent to abandon domicile, or physical presence elsewhere, is insufficient to abrogate Virginia domicile.

E. Resident alien means a decedent who was not a citizen of the United States, but was a resident of the United States.

23VAC10-300-30

23VAC10-300-30. Out-of-state tax credit against resident's tax. (Repealed.)

The amount calculated in § 58.1-902 B (2) is described by the formula which follows.

Note: This calculation is to be compared with the calculation under § 58.1-902 B (1), and the lesser amount will be the out-of-state tax credit.

Value of resident's tangible
personal property, real property
and real property interests taxed
in other states




X



Federal credit for
State death taxes

Value of gross estate

The credit under § 58.1-902B(1) and (2) will be computed on a state-by-state basis. If a state does not impose a death tax, there will be no credit for property located in that state.

23VAC10-300-50

23VAC10-300-50. Alien decedent's tax. (Repealed.)

A. The formula for an alien decedent's tax calculated under § 58.1-904 A is as follows:

 

Value of property
taxable in Virginia




X



Federal credit for
State death taxes

__________________

Value of property
taxable by U.S.

B. The "value of property taxable in Virginia" in the numerator of the formula in § 58.1-904 A means the value reported for federal estate tax purposes of:

1. Real property located in Virginia;

2. Tangible personal property having an actual situs in Virginia;

3. Intangible property physically present in Virginia, including, but not limited to:

a. Stock in a corporation organized under the laws of Virginia;

b. Interests in real property located in Virginia, including mineral interests, royalties, production payments, leasehold interests, or working interests in oil, gas, coal or any other minerals;

c. Bonds issued by Virginia corporations or political subdivisions;

d. Deposits in Virginia financial institutions;

e. Contract rights, royalties, accounts payable and other debts owed by Virginia residents to the decedent; and

f. Any other valuable rights which can be enforced in Virginia courts.

23VAC10-300-80

23VAC10-300-80. Certification of payment. (Repealed.)

If a return is required to be filed, the department will certify the payment of the tax, or that no tax is due, to the personal representative and will file a copy with the Internal Revenue Service. The department will not record these certifications with clerks of court. No certification will be issued if no tax return is required to be filed under § 58.1-905.

23VAC10-300-90

23VAC10-300-90. Nonpayment of tax; lien for unpaid taxes; certificates of release from lien. (Repealed.)

No lien attaches to real or personal property of a nonresident decedent unless the estate of the nonresident decedent is taxable and the proper tax is not paid. A release of lien on a nonresident estate will be issued upon request after receipt by the department of a copy of the federal closing letter.
