Why you can reclaim? THE DISCRIMINATION EXPLAINED

The laws in Spain regulating inheritance tax treat residents and non-residents in Spain differently. This results in non-residents having to pay full inheritance tax, while residents are, more often than not, either virtually exempt from inheritance tax or are entitled to considerable benefits.

According to European Union legislation, this constitutes a clear breach of the rules and regulations concerning non-discrimination and freedoms as laid down in the EU treaty. As a result, European citizens, who have paid inheritance tax to the Spanish authorities based on calculations made for non-residents in Spain, are entitled to make a claim for the excessive amounts charged.

Therefore, if you have inherited properties or assets in Spain within the last four years from today and either you, the beneficiary or the deceased were non resident in Spain at the time of death, you may be able to recover almost 100% of the inheritance tax paid to the Spanish tax office.

Mr Emilio Álvarez, a leading international tax expert at Costa, Alvarez and Manglano y Asociados, is collaborating with us on this. He has recently been successful in winning similar claims, specifically in recovering the excess Capital Gains Tax levied by the Spanish government on non-resident citizens who sold their properties in Spain.

About 1,000 EU citizens who confided in us have already or are in the process of recovering the excess taxes they paid in connection with the sale of their property in Spain.

Due to the complexity involved in making such a claim and to the complex nature of Spanish inheritance tax legislation, wide knowledge and expertise of local, domestic and EU laws and regulations is required. As you can only claim once, we strongly recommend you seek advice from the experts. Wrong advice could ruin your chances of success.
