If you inherit a property in Spain, you will be required to pay the Inheritance Tax within a period of six months regardless of your status as a resident or non-resident. However, you may apply for an extension.
In fact, the inheritance will not become effective until payment of taxes has been satisfied.
However, regulations of the European Parliament and Council on the subject of Succession establish that successions are subject to the tax laws of the country where the deceased had their usual residency at the time of their death, unless
specified otherwise.
If the usual residency of the deceased is located in Spain, the autonomous community where the property is registered will establish the amount that is to be paid as Inheritance Tax.
