Tax for inheritance abroad

bsainto

Hello,
My French aunt just died and I will inherit in France from her part of a life insurance that she has subscribed in France.
Do I need to pay any taxes in the UK?
I am a uk resident, tax paying in the uk.
I have planned to left this money in France.
Thanks very much for your help

Life insurance = Assurance Vie?

On this specific point, there are no immediate UK tax implications merely for receiving an inheritance, whether from within the UK or from abroad.
