Inheritance tax in Andorra 2026
Andorra charges 0% on inheritances and lifetime gifts, with no thresholds to manage.
Inheritances and donations are expressly excluded from the income tax as well — heirs owe nothing under any heading.
There is no wealth tax, so holding assets across generations carries no annual charge either.
Cross-border families should watch the other end: heirs living in Spain or France may owe tax at home.

Thresholds & allowances
- Exempt amountUnlimited
No reliefs are needed where no tax exists.
- Cross-border exposureHeir's country rules
Spanish- or French-resident heirs are commonly taxed at home on what they inherit from Andorra.
Residency
Residency trigger
Neither the deceased's nor the heir's residence creates Andorran tax — succession is a legal process, not a fiscal one.
Non-resident treatment
Non-resident heirs inheriting Andorran assets owe Andorra 0%; their home country may tax them under its own rules.
Notes
- Estate planning for Andorran residents centres on the heirs' countries: a child resident in Spain can owe Spanish inheritance tax on an Andorran estate despite the local 0%.
- Property passing at death still moves through notarial and registry procedures with administrative fees, but no percentage duty applies.
- With no gift tax, wealth can be transferred during life at 0% — a planning lever unavailable in most of Europe.

Will my children pay Andorran tax on their inheritance?

Can I gift property or money during my lifetime tax-free?
