54:38A-1. Reasonable doubt as to domicile of decedent; settlement
1. Where the Director of the Division of Taxation claims that a decedent was domiciled in this state at the time of death and the taxing authorities of another state or states make a similar claim with respect to their state or states, and investigation discloses a reasonable doubt regarding domicile, the director may, in his discretion, enter into a written agreement with such taxing authorities and the executor, administrator or trustee, fixing the sum acceptable to this State in full settlement of the transfer inheritance tax imposable under chapters 33 to 36, inclusive, of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes; provided, that said agreement also fixes the sum acceptable to such other state or states in full settlement of the death taxes imposable by such state or states; and provided further, that said agreement has the approval of a judge of the Tax Court of New Jersey. If the aggregate amount payable under such agreement to the states involved is less than the maximum sum allowable as a credit to the estate against the federal estate tax imposed thereon, then the executor, administrator or trustee shall also pay to the director so much of the difference between such aggregate amount and the amount of such credit as the amount payable to the director under the agreement bears to such aggregate amount, and the agreement aforesaid shall so provide. Payment of the sum or sums fixed by said agreement shall be accepted by the director in full satisfaction of this State's claim for transfer inheritance and estate taxes which would otherwise be chargeable under subtitle five of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes, and the executor, administrator or trustee is hereby empowered to enter into the agreement provided for herein.
