Just wondering why long term expats have to pay 30% on any inheritances they receive from Ireland?
I have a buy to let in Ireland and pay 20% on any profits I have, which is understandable as I need access to services like Police and Fire Services if needed
But paying 30% tax on any inheritances, that I do not understand. As far as I see the only service i am paying for is the probate office to process the app;ication which considering the length of time it takes are woefully understaffed. So not sure why I need to pay 30% for this service.....
The other thing that gets me is that for expats this 30% has to be paid in advance....
