How to calculate the deduction for lineal descendants if the heirs are minor children when filing an estate tax return?

National Taxation Bureau of the Central Area, Ministry of Finance stated that in inheritance cases occurring in 2025, the deduction for direct blood relatives is NT$560,000 per person. If the deceased left minor children, an additional NT$560,000 can be deducted for each child until they reach adulthood (18 years of age).

For example: The deceased, A, passed away on March 1, 2025, leaving behind children B (born February 1, 2007) and C (born November 1, 2012). Since B was an adult at the time of A's death, the deduction is NT$560,000. C has 5 years and 8 months before reaching adulthood (C turns 18 on November 1, 2030), so the deduction can be added for 6 years, with an additional NT$560,000 deducted each year, totaling NT$3,360,000 over 6 years. The total deduction is NT$3,920,000 (NT$560,000 + NT$3,360,000).The total deduction for direct blood relatives of the deceased A for estate tax is NT$4,480,000 (NT$560,000 + NT$3,920,000).
