Direct answer: Complementary Law 227/2026 established national general ITCMD standards, but ITCMD remains a state tax. Rural land, holding shares, progressive rates, gifts with usufruct and jurisdiction must be checked against current state law. There is no single national rate or automatic holding discount.

Decision framework
| Decision area | Review question |
|---|---|
| Land | market value, bare land and improvements |
| Shares | assets, rights, liabilities and method |
| Gift/usufruct | stages under state law |
| Inheritance | jurisdiction, filing and payment |
Gather titles, valuations, statements, debt and current state legislation. Book value is not automatically accepted. Compare gift, inheritance and reorganization including capital gain, ITBI, records, fees and cash needs. Unsupported undervaluation may trigger assessment and penalties.
