My English father died in the uk this year and his estate is all in the uk. I am English but a Spanish resident. Therefore I am liable for Spanish IHT at the national rate although the will is being totally executed in the Uk. Seems v unfair but this is correct?

Secondly, I have read that the European Commission has refered Spain to the European court of justice as its IHT is cosidered discrimotary, especially against non residents. Is there any information on this, as I cant find anything on the web.

Thanks for any help
