How is tax calculated when a property that is inherited is sold?

Like any sale, sales tax and property appreciation tax is due, in principle. If the person from whom the property was inherited  died before 1.4.81 then, for property appreciation tax purposes,  what counts is the value of property when the person passed away . If,however, he died after 1.4.81 ,the person inheriting the property steps into his shoes, and the value is calculated as the original value, when the bequeathor acquired it.
