Inheritance tax

Dutch inheritance or succession tax is a tax that applies to residents and non-residents who have received an inheritance from a Dutch citizen. Non-residents have the option of availing themselves of the inheritance law of their country of origin. The inheritance tax will depend on the relationship you had with the deceased person (e.g. parents, husband, wife, etc.).
This tax will increase if the relationship with the relative or person you received the inheritance from is less direct. Especially when you own substantial assets – property, company shares, funds, receivables etc. – it makes sense to discuss an inheritance tax saving scenario. In order to minimize the inheritance tax burden. It is our pleasure to discuss with you the relevant calculations and necessary steps.
