Inheritance tax in Spain varies significantly by region and depends on residency, relationship to the deceased, and asset value. Many foreign heirs are surprised by unexpected tax liabilities.
Practical examples:
- A non-resident heir pays higher tax than a resident family member.
- A missed deadline leads to penalties and interest.
- Incorrect valuation triggers a tax inspection.
- Regional tax benefits are overlooked.
- Heirs assume UK inheritance tax rules apply in Spain.
