US EditionNYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Proposes Major Estate Tax Overhaul to Tackle Budget Deficit
- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani circulated a memo proposing to slash the estate tax exemption to $750,000 from over $7 million and raise the top rate to 50%, aiming to help close a projected $5.4 billion city budget deficit.
- The estate tax overhaul is one of nearly a dozen revenue-raising measures in Mamdani's administration memo, which also proposes a 1% surcharge on homes valued above $5 million and a 1% tax on cash-only purchases exceeding $1 million.
- Critics argue the lowered threshold would expose middle-class homeowners to large taxes; some social media users warned the 50% rate could force heirs to liquidate property, describing neighborhoods as turning into "ghost town" by seizure.
- Neither the state legislature nor Governor Kathy Hochul included the estate tax changes in their current spending plans, signaling the proposal faces significant political hurdles for now.
- City officials face at least $28 billion in cumulative deficits over four years, a pressure intensified after Moody's downgraded New York City's credit outlook to negative citing persistent budget imbalances.
