How much Spanish inheritance or gift tax will you pay in the Valencia region?

With the regional tax break, if you qualify.

The Valencia region applies its own tax break that can bring the bill close to nothing between parents, children and spouses, and to far more between siblings, uncles or unrelated people. See which is your case, with figures, before calling anyone.

How it is calculated, exactly

It starts from the value of the inherited or gifted property or share: the taxable value. The reduction for your family group is subtracted (Law 29/1987, art. 20, and Valencia's Law 13/1997, art. 10): the result is the net taxable base.

The tax rate (art. 21, Law 29/1987) is then applied to the net taxable base, bracket by bracket, not all at once: the result is the gross tax. It is then multiplied by a coefficient that depends on your prior wealth and your family group (art. 22).

If you are a spouse, child, parent or grandparent (groups I and II), the Valencia region then applies a 99% tax break on that amount (Law 13/1997, art. 12 bis, introduced by Law 6/2023, in force since 28/05/2023). For a gift, it requires a notarial deed filed in time. Since 1 June 2026, blood siblings, nephews/nieces and uncles/aunts (group III) get their own 25% tax break (art. 12 bis.2, Law 5/2025); an in-law, in the same tax group but related by marriage, does not get it.

Wherever you live, if the property is in the Valencia region you can apply this regional rule instead of the national one: allowed by the second additional provision of Law 29/1987, following the European Court of Justice ruling of 03/09/2014, which required Spain to treat residents and non-residents alike.

What this service is NOT

This is a simulator, not a tax return or tax advice. It does not calculate deductible debts, household goods, disability reductions, or the reduction for a main home or family business, which can change the real amount due. We do not file inheritance or gift tax returns, nor act as your representative before the tax office: we prepare, sort and translate the paperwork, and this page tells you when a licensed professional's signature is required, so you hire them directly. We are not a gestoría or a law firm.

Questions about this service

Does this replace my gestor or lawyer?

No. It is an estimate so you know, before calling anyone, whether your case is simple or really needs help. The actual tax return is filed by a professional, with the exact paperwork in hand.

What is a family group?

The law places heirs or recipients into four groups by closeness to the person who left or gave the property: from children under 21 (group I) to someone with no family relationship (group IV). The further the group, the smaller the reduction and the higher the coefficient.

I am a nephew, niece, brother or sister. Do I get a tax break?

Since 1 June 2026, 25% if the relationship is by blood. A brother or sister-in-law, or a parent-in-law, pays the same as a sibling or a nephew but does not get this tax break: it is by blood, not by marriage.

I live outside Spain. Can I still use this tax break?

If the property is in the Valencia region, yes: since the 2014 European ruling, regional rules apply equally to residents and non-residents, whether your country of residence is in the European Union or not.

Why might my real case come out different from this figure?

Because this simulator does not subtract debts, charges, household goods, or the reductions for disability, main home or family business. All of those lower the real amount due, never raise it.

What exactly do you do?

We gather and translate the paperwork the tax return needs, explain every letter that arrives, and tell you what is missing. The signature before the Valencian Tax Agency, if your case needs one, is put by a gestor or a lawyer: we tell you which one and why.
