This administrative regulation formally rescinds the previously issued policies and circulars relating to taxes administered by the Department's Office of Sales and Excise Taxes.
Section 1. These policies merely restate or summarize the requirements or provisions of the inheritance and estate tax statutes of KRS Chapter 140 as well as other pertinent parts of KRS Chapters 6, 21, 61, 131, 161, 164, 304, 342, 395, and 411.
