  • 台灣之遺產及贈與稅法曾於2009年進行修法,將原先累進稅率調整為10%比例稅率。本研究利用2004-2014財稅行政資料探討本次稅改對財富累積之響。我們發現遺產及贈與稅稅率之調降將促使年長父母進行財富累積,但年輕父母則不受稅率調整之影響。並且,稅改對年長父母財富累積之效果會依小孩數量呈現異質性。相較於其他小孩個數,稅改對於擁有兩位小孩之父母有較大之財富累積效果。整體來說,本研究認為人們傾向於年老時才開始進行遺產規劃。


    This study investigates the effect of the estate tax cut on wealth accumulation during lifetime using Taiwan administrative data from 2004-2014. We find that reducing the estate tax motivates old parents to accumulate more wealth, but younger parents remain neutral to the reform. In addition, the number of children plays a role in the tax impacts on parents. Precisely, two-child households respond most to the lower estate tax. Overall, our finding supports that people tend to plan their bequest when approaching the final stages of life.
