Inheritance tax and law

INHERITANCE TAX

Inheritance tax is levied on the net amount of the inheritance received by beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are liable to pay the inheritance tax. The rates are progressive, depending on the relationship between the deceased and the beneficiary. Inheritances between spouses and cohabitants are not taxable.
