It is a tax on the amount received and is paid by the heir. Inheritance taxes are levied by the states. This means that in many cases an estate is taxed twice -- first by the federal estate tax, then by the state inheritance tax.o, the estate tax is a tax on the total amount of the estate, after creditors are paid but before any heirs get their bequest. The tax is paid by the estate itself.
Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was made by Pontiac, which is a division of General Motors. The first (1969), second (1970-1981), and third (1982-1992) generation cars were assembled at either the Van Nuys, California or Norwood, Ohio plants while the fourth generation (1993-2002) cars were assembled at the Sainte-ThÃ©rÃ¨se plant in Quebec, Canada.
The Trans Am's Code X 455 was rated at just 300 horsepower, while the Code M 350 in the Esprit dropped to a measly 160 horsepower. A strike at the plant kept Trans Am production to just 1,286 that year. Going into 1973, things looked grim for the Firebird, but two modifications to the Trans Am would change that.
