Inheritance tax may apply when someone receives a gift or inheritance at a rate of 33%. Over recent years the thresholds have been reduced significantly and the tax rates have increased.

Currently, each child can receive a gift or inheritance up to the value of €310,000 from a parent (known as parent to child threshold). Other threshold amounts apply depending on the relationship between the person who receives the gift/inheritance and the doner.
