Inherited Assets

You do not usually pay inheritance tax on anything you inherit at the time you inherit it.

You may need to pay tax at a later point on:

• Income Tax on any income or interest you later earn from your inheritance such as dividend income from shares acquired, bank interest from deposits or rental income from a property acquired or inherited.
• Capital Gains Tax if you later sell the shares or a property you acquired or inherited.
• Inheritance Tax in the event of your death.

Things to note:

In the event of an enquiry from the tax authorities in either country, please retain all documentation in relation to the inheritance as this may be required.
