If any such property is real or tangible personal 1378 property located outside this state and is subject to generation-1379 skipping transfer taxes by any state or states other than the state of 1380 Connecticut for which such federal credit is allowable, the amount of 1381 tax due under this section shall be reduced by the lesser of (1) the 1382 amount of any such taxes paid to such other state or states and allowed 1383 as a credit against the federal generation-skipping transfer tax in effect 1384 as of January 1, 2001; or (2) an amount computed by multiplying such 1385 federal credit by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the value of 1386 all transferred real and tangible personal property which is subject to 1387 generation-skipping transfer taxes and over which such other state or 1388 states have jurisdiction for generation-skipping transfer tax purposes 1389 to the same extent to which this state would exert jurisdiction for 1390 generation-skipping transfer tax purposes under this chapter with 1391 respect to the residents of such other state or states, and (B) the 1392 denominator of which is the value of all transferred property which is 1393 subject to generation-skipping transfer taxes, wherever located. 1394

The amount of any estate tax imposed 1447 under this subsection shall also be reduced, but not below zero, by the 1448 amount of any tax that is imposed under chapter 216 and that is 1449 actually paid to this state. 1450

(b) A tax is imposed upon the transfer of the estate of each person 1451 who at the time of death was a nonresident of this state, the amount of 1452 which shall be computed by multiplying (1) the federal credit 1453 allowable for estate, inheritance, legacy, and succession taxes paid to 1454 any state or states or the District of Columbia under the provisions of 1455 the federal internal revenue code in [force at the date of such 1456 decedent's death] effect as of January 1, 2001, in respect to any 1457 property owned by such decedent or subject to such taxes as a part of 1458 or in connection with the estate of such decedent by (2) a fraction, (A) 1459 the numerator of which is the value of that part of the decedent's gross 1460 estate over which this state has jurisdiction for estate tax purposes, and 1461 (B) the denominator of which is the value of the decedent's gross 1462 estate. Property of a nonresident estate over which this state has 1463 jurisdiction for estate tax purposes includes real property situated in 1464 this state and tangible personal property having an actual situs in this 1465 state. The amount of any estate tax imposed under this subsection shall 1466 also be reduced, but not below zero, by the amount of any tax that is 1467 imposed under chapter 216 and that is actually paid to this state. 1468
