Does a nephew in NJ who is included in his uncles will have to pay 15 percent inheritance tax?

In New Jersey, nephews and nieces fall under Class "C" beneficiaries for inheritance tax purposes. This class typically incurs a tax rate of 15% on the amount inherited over $1.1 million. Therefore, if the nephew inherits more than this threshold, he would be subject to the 15% inheritance tax on the amount exceeding $1.1 million. If the inheritance is below this amount, no tax would be owed.
