Inheritance income tax rate
In Croatia, a 4% inheritance tax is imposed on non-immediate family members who inherit cash, securities, or movable property exceeding €6,700. However, spouses, children, and direct descendants do not have to pay this tax. A gift tax of the same 4% rate is applicable to similar types of assets. The notification process for the inheritance tax is handled by probate courts, and heirs must pay the tax within 15 days after it is assessed.
