Gift and estate taxes are both computed using the same tax
table. However since the exemption is higher on the estate
tax side, you're paying that tax on a smaller amount.

Lots of other factors, including the basis issue, will
impact which ends up a "better deal" in the end, but that's
a short simple answer to your short simple fact patter.

Default Estate Tax versus Gift Tax

Consider stock with a $10M market value and a $1M basis. I
understand how it would be treated in an estate. Would a
gift be the same or are the tax rates or rules different for
gifts?
