Inheritance and gift tax 

The subject of taxation is property received by a natural person from a natural or a legal person as a gift or inheritance that is not considered as income under the act governing the personal income tax. Property comprises immovable and movable property (including securities and cash), property and other rights in property.
Who

The form for the assessment of gift tax must be submitted by the taxable person who receives a gift of property.

Taxable persons are not obliged to file a tax return for inherited property.


When

Taxable persons have a duty to declare the receipt of gifts within 15 days of the incurred tax liability, i.e. of the date of the gift’s receipt.

Taxable persons who received property under a lifelong support contract or a deed of gift in the event of death are required to declare such contract within 15 days of the conclusion thereof. Taxable persons are also required to file a tax return with this tax office within 15 days of the death of such supported person or donor.


Where and how

Taxable persons submit declarations for assessment of tax on received gifts in person or by post as follows:

    • Taxable persons who receive property based on life care contracts file declarations at Nova Gorica Financial Office (contracts shall be registered first).
    • Taxable persons who receive property based on jointure contracts file declarations at Nova Gorica Financial Office.
    • Taxable persons who receive property based on other legal transactions (deed of gift for cases of death (contracts shall be registered first), deed of gift, deed of conveyance):

        • if they receive real estate as a gift, they declare the receipt of gift at the financial office, where the real estate is located. If the real estate is located on the territory of several financial offices, the taxable person declares the receipt of gift at the financial office, where the taxable person is entered into the tax register,
        • if the gift includes only movable property, taxable persons file a declaration at the financial office, where they are entered into the tax register,
        • if taxable persons have no permanent or temporary residence or registered office in the Republic of Slovenia and they are not entered into the tax register, they declare gifts, which include only movable property, at the financial office, where the donor is entered into the tax register.

Taxable persons, who inherit property, don't file declarations because the financial office issues a decision on tax assessment ex officio, which means based on the data from the final decision on inheritance received from the court.

Taxable persons, who have the European Certificate of Succession at their disposal, shall submit it for assessment at Nova Gorica Financial Office. A special form is not envisaged.
