Italy has a historically favourable Inheritance and Gift tax system.
As a matter of fact, current legislation shows:
In addition to this, taking into account that approximately 50% of Italian household wealth is held in real estate, it is relevant to say that immovable property is evaluated on the base of its ‘cadastral’ value, which is sensibly lower than market value.
In light of the above, and taking also into account specific rules of exemptions, in most cases any tax is due, apart from the application of other, minor taxes due on the transfer of real estate (‘Mortgage Tax’ and ‘Cadastral Tax’).
