67-8-503. Agreement by states.

(a)  In any case in which an election is made as provided in § 67-8-502 and not rejected, the commissioner may enter into a written agreement with the other taxing officials involved and with the executors, to accept a certain sum in full payment of any inheritance tax, together with interest and penalties, that may be due this state; provided, that the agreement also fixes the amount to be paid the other state or states.

(b)  If an agreement cannot be reached and the arbitration proceedings specified in § 67-8-504 are commenced, and thereafter an agreement is arrived at, a written agreement may be entered into at any time before such proceeding is concluded, notwithstanding the commencement of such proceeding.

(c)  Upon the filing of such agreement or duplicate thereof with the authority that would have jurisdiction to assess the inheritance tax of this state if the decedent died domiciled in this state, an assessment shall be made as provided in the agreement, and such assessment, except as otherwise provided in this part, shall finally and conclusively fix and determine the amount of inheritance tax due this state.

(d)  In the event that the aggregate amount payable under such agreement to the states involved is less than the maximum credit allowable to the estate against the United States estate tax imposed with respect thereto, the executor forthwith shall also pay to the commissioner the same percentage of the difference between such aggregate amount and the amount of such credit, as the amount payable to the commissioner under the agreement bears to such aggregate amount.
