tion, the expatriate shall be subject to tax
under this title in the same manner as if

whole or in part, until such other date as the Sec-
retary may prescribe).

PROPERTY.—For purposes of paragraph (1), the addi-
tional tax attributable to any property is an amount
which bears the same ratio to the additional tax im-
posed by this chapter for the taxable year solely by

count under subsection (a) with respect to such prop-
erty bears to the total gain taken into account under

(1) shall only apply to property described in the elec-
tion and, once made, is irrevocable. An election may

terest in a trust with respect to which gain is re-
quired to be recognized under subsection (f)(1).

‘‘(A) the last date for the payment of tax
shall be determined without regard to the election
