      Hi there,

      Could you please explain the two cases for an inheritor and applicable tax for a Spanish Resident more than 10 years in Almeria, Andalucia.

      1- If the inheritor is a Spanish Resident then what tax will be payable on cash/property receiving in Spain from the deceased from a close relative in Spain who was not Spanish resident?

      2- If the inheritor is a Spanish Resident then what tax will be paybale on cash/ property receiving in Spain from the deceased from a close relative in the UK and who was not Spanish resident?

      Appreciate your help and thank you.

      Regards,

      AM

      Morning Amarafie,

      This is explained in my article Changes to Spain’s Inheritance and Gift Tax Law – 21st February 2015.

      In both cases the inheritor is liable for Spanish Inheritance Tax. More on this tax in my articles:

       

      I. Inheritance Rules

      a) Deceased is non-tax resident. If the deceased was resident in a Member State of the European Union or else in the European Economic Area (non-tax resident in Spain) the beneficiary will now benefit from:

      • The regional tax allowances where the majority of the assets of the deceased are located in.
      • If there are no assets in Spain, the rules of the Autonomous Community where the beneficiary lives apply.

      b) Deceased is tax resident and beneficiary is non-tax resident. If the deceased was resident in Spain and the beneficiary is resident in a Member State of the European Union or else in the European Economic Area (non-tax resident) he will benefit from:

      • The regional tax allowances where the deceased lived.

      Regards
