I'm not really a new poster but I created a new username because I feel I need to be a little too specific with my query. I hope this is OK.
As the title says I am a Spanish citizen. I moved to Ireland almost 20 years ago. I have lived here ever since except for a 6-month period during the last crisis in which we lived in a different EU country, after which period we returned to Ireland. I married an EU citizen and have 2 children who have always lived in Ireland and continue to do so.
I have always worked in the public sector in Ireland. My salary is my only source of income. I have no assets or even a bank account in Spain.
Unfortunately, my dad passed away a few months ago. I am going to receive a small bit of money to begin with probably within the next few weeks or months, straight from a savings account my dad had set up for my siblings and me. It looks like a bigger chunk will also be coming my way at a later date as my mum sells the family home and downsizes (already in process).
I have no idea what happens to the tax aspect of a Spanish inheritance in Ireland so I have a ton of questions:
Do I pay tax in Spain and be exempt here? I would like to think I won't be taxed twice.
Will AIB freeze the money when it appears into my account until I explain where it comes from?
Are there any specific documents I need for the bank or Revenue? Maybe a death certificate and a Spanish tax certificate?
If anyone has been in this situation before, I would be very grateful if they could share some insight.
Thanks in advance
