Ans.:

The duty of legacy tax belongs to all inheritors and each inheritor is liable to pay off all legacy taxes until they are fully redeemed in accordance with the Civil Law and Tax Regulations of Taiwan. Tax Authority or any other government departments should not be restricted by any agreements among the inheritors.
