The District of Columbia Council, as part of a budget proposal that would increase taxes to cover a COVID-19 triggered revenue shortfall, has proposed legislation that would reduce the DC Estate Tax Exemption from the current $5.6 million per person to $4 million. The effective date of the proposal would be retroactively to the beginning of 2020.
