Waiver or renunciation to an inheritance in Spain. Consequences for children, taxes, etc. Occasionally we receive enquiries from clients who wish to renounce an inheritance, sometimes because the debts and liability (passive) are higher than the assets and rights (active) to be inherited, others due to a bad family relationship, for tax purposes, etc. As explained in other articles, if you want to renounce an inheritance it must be done cor-rectly because if the waiver of the inheritance is made in favour of another person, it will have tax consequences, since Gift Tax must be paid on the transfer of the rights.

As we have mentioned on several occasions, the EU Regulation 650/2012 allows national law to be chosen as the applicable law to the succession. However, and despite the advice given by many legal agents, financial advisors, and tax specialists, it is not true that you can choose to pay inheritance taxes in one country or another, or under the law of one country or another. Regulation 650/2012 does not allow people to choose between paying taxes under the law of the country or another, as the fiscal and tax succession matters are not within its scope.
