  abstract = {In this paper we describe a novel source of data on the full record of inheritance tax files in Italy, covering up to 63\% of total deceased. The work documents a substantial rise in the total value of inheritance and gifts as a share of national income, from 8.4\% in 1995 to 15.1\% in 2016. Consistent with the increasing role of total personal net wealth in the economy, the weight of inheritance and gifts in Italy appears relatively high by international standards. Over the same period, total wealth left at death has also become increasingly concentrated. The estates valued at least \texteuro 1 million were worth 18.7\% of total estate in the mid 1990s and 24.8\% in 2016. This paper also documents that revenues collected from the inheritance tax underwent a threefold decline from 0.15\% to 0.05\% of total tax revenue between 1995 and 2016. Data also allow a disaggregated analysis by demographic and geographic characteristics.},
