Inheritance income tax rate
In France, inheritance tax is levied on each heir’s portion of the estate, with rates varying from 5% to 45%. The tax depends on the location of the deceased’s residence, and certain exemptions can apply based on the connection between the deceased and the heir. Non-residents are subject to the same tax rates as residents for assets situated in France.
