Therefore, foreigners living in Spain are taxed in their cross-border Estates in the same way as heirs of Spanish or European Union Estates.

More important foreigners living in Spain who paid the Estate Tax in Spain without applying the benefits of the Comunidades Autónomas may request the return of mostly the whole tax paid to the Spanish Tax Authorities.

If you have received a cross border Estate you must check if you have the right to a refund of the amount paid to the Spanish Tax Authorities.

Additionally, the Supreme Court has recently resolved that residents in Spain who have not applied the regional benefits may claim the excess paid to the Spanish Treasury, regardless of when they received the inheritance (including beyond the 4-year statute of limitations), if there has been an audit of the tax form at any time.
