(2) RLVENUE ACT OF 1932. - (A) If a tax has been paid under chapter 4 on a gift, and thereafter upon the death of the donor any amount in respect of such gift is required to be included in the value of the gross estate of the decedent for the purposes of chapter 3, then there shall be credited against the tax imposed by section 810 the amount of the tax paid under chapter 4 with respect to so much of the property which constituted the gift as is included in the gross estate, except that the amount of such credit shall not exceed an amount which bears the same ratio to the tax imposed by section 810 as the value (at the time of the gift or at the time of the death, whichever is lower) of so much of the property which constituted the gift as is included in the gross estate, bears to the value of the entire gross estate. (B) For the purposes of paragraph (A), the amount of tax paid for any year under chapter 4 with respect to any property shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total tax paid for such year as the value of such property bears to the total amount of net gifts (computed without deduction of the specific exemption) for such year.
