Insights for Life Under the Sun ☀️
When moving to Spain, most people think about sunshine, sea views, and sangria. But there’s one topic that often gets overlooked — inheritance tax. And believe it or not, it can make a big difference depending on where you live.
In Spain, inheritance tax (Impuesto de Sucesiones y Donaciones) is managed by each autonomous region. That means the amount you or your loved ones pay can vary dramatically from one province to another.
For example:
🇪🇸 In Andalusia and Valencia, children often pay as little as 1% in inheritance tax.
💶 In other regions, however, the rate can climb to 20% or more.
So while your view might change from mountains to sea, your tax landscape can change just as much. 🌅
If you’re planning to settle, retire, or invest in Spain, understanding the local tax system is essential — and that’s where we can help.
