Inheritance in Spain with a non-resident or foreigner: Deadlines for paying the tax

This article is part of our guide Inheritance in Spain with a non-resident, expat or foreigner which you will find in our Inheritance in Spain section.

The deadlines for filing the tax are detailed below.

For inheritances, there is a deadline of 6 months from the death or declaration of death of the owner. An extension of 6 months can be requested within 5 months of the death.

If the extension is granted, late payment surcharges must be included in the settlement. The request must be well-founded, accompanied by an approximate valuation of the assets subject to taxation.

If it is not granted, the time limit is extended by a number of days equal to the number of days elapsed from the submission of the application until notification of the refusal. If the deadline has expired and the application has not been submitted, a provisional assessment may be made. Finally, for donations, the time limit is 30 days from the act of donation.
