🇮🇹 Italian Inheritance Tax Calculator
What one heir pays, using 2026 rates
Your details
Inheritance tax here is charged per heir on what each one receives, not on the estate as a whole.
Each spouse and child has their own €1,000,000 allowance, which is why most Italian estates pay no inheritance tax at all.
Mortgage and cadastral taxes are due on inherited property even when no inheritance tax is payable.
Reduces the mortgage and cadastral taxes to small fixed amounts.

Breakdown

Charged on the cadastral value, which is usually well below market value. This estimate assumes about 60% of the declared estate value.
Filing deadline
12 months from the death, filed with the Agenzia delle Entrate.
Worth knowing before you rely on this
- Since the 2024 reform, heirs calculate and pay the tax themselves shortly after filing (autoliquidazione), with instalments available.
- Bank accounts stay frozen until the dichiarazione di successione is filed.
- Forced-heirship shares (legittima) apply whatever the will says, and can be claimed for years after the death.
- This is a simplified estimate for one heir. Business, farm and main-home reliefs, disability allowances and lifetime gifts all change the answer. Get advice before filing.
Your estimate: €3,600. A specialist inheritance adviser in Italy routinely saves families more than their own fee, through reliefs and elections this estimate cannot apply. Free quote →
