Hello,
If I (UK citizen and resident who has never lived elsewhere) inherit a property in Portugal from my father who was a Portuguese citizen and resident and never lived in the UK, does it result in me having to pay inheritance tax?

OP - have a look at https://www.lumonpay.com/articles/inheritance-tax-in-portugal-for-non-residents-your-guide/#:~:text=Inheritance%20tax%20was%20abolished%20in,assets%20located%20within%20the%20country. which should be helpful.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0
