(C) Proportionate share In the case of property which is included in the gross estate solely by reason of sub- section (b), such property’s proportionate share is the percentage which the value of such property bears to the total value of all property included in the gross estate solely by reason of subsection (b). (3) Other credits The tax imposed by subsection (a) shall be credited with the amounts determined in ac- cordance with subsections (a) and (b) of sec- tion 2102.

**(a) Definition of taxable estate** For purposes of the tax imposed by section 2101, the value of the taxable estate of every decedent nonresident not a citizen of the United States shall be determined by deducting from the value of that part of his gross estate which at the time of his death is situated in the United States— (1) **Expenses, losses, indebtedness, and taxes** — That proportion of the deductions specified in sections 2053 and 2054 (other than the deductions described in the following sentence) which the value of such part bears to the value of his entire gross estate, wherever situated. Any deduction allowable under section 2053 in the case of a claim against the estate which was founded on a promise or agreement but was not contracted for an adequate and full consideration in money or money’s worth shall be allowable under this paragraph to the extent that it would be allowable as a deduction under paragraph (2) if such promise or agreement constituted a bequest. (2) **Transfers for public, charitable, and religious uses** (A) *In general* — The amount of all bequests, legacies, devises, or transfers (including the interest which falls into any such bequest, legacy, devise, or transfer as a result of an irrevocable disclaimer of a bequest, legacy, devise, transfer, or power, if the disclaimer is made before the date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return)— (i) to or for the use of the United States, any State, any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, for exclusively public purposes; (ii) to or for the use of any domestic corporation organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes, including the encouragement of art and the prevention of cruelty
