inheritance tax rates and deductions o the regional
parliaments.

Most regions enacted tax laws that applied generous
deductions only to those beneficiaries who were resident in
the region over the balance of the previous five years.

4
Recently, on September 3rd 2014, the European Court of
Justice ruled that such laws were discriminatory and contrary
to European Law.
5
Inheritance Law in the Balearic Islands
Accordingly, the Spanish government has enacted new
legislation (Ley 26/2014) which makes any deductions that
may be applied to residents also available to non-residents
who are EU citizens.
6
Inheritance Law in the Balearic Islands
The main impact of the new legislation is as follows:
1) If the deceased was a non-resident, living in another
European country then the beneficiary may apply those
deductions and exemptions provided by the regional
government in which the majority of the inherited assets
are located.
7

2) If none of the assets to be inherited are located in Spain,
then the resident beneficiaries should apply the legislation
enacted by the regional government where they are normally
resident.

3) If the deceased was resident in one of the Spanish regions
and the beneficiaries were non-resident, and living in another
European Union country, then they may apply those
deductions and exemptions available to residents of the
region in which the deceased was resident.

Inheritance Law in the Balearic Islands
