Irish inheritance when living abroad - tax implications?

[twanda]

Hi all

as the title suggests I am living abroad in another EU country and have an inheritance from a parent who was resident in Ireland.

Does anyone know which tax rules would apply - the Irish tax rule, as my parent was an Irish resident - or the tax rule for inheritance in the country where I am living?

The inheritance falls below the Irish tax threshold but I am not sure if it is above the threshold here where I live, hence it would be nice to know if I am going to have to pay some out of it.

Thanks a lot for any help/insight.

The answer you seek will depend on the tax rules in your country of residence.

Why don't you put the proceeds into an Irish bank a/c?
What country are you resident in, paying taxes in and how much is the inheritance? Some good person here will then give you your answer.
