🇩🇪 Valuing your Indian property from Germany
German residents are taxed on worldwide inheritances and gifts, and there is no estate tax treaty with India.
Where Germany rules reach your Indian property
Inheritance and gift tax
If either side is German tax resident, Indian property can be pulled into the German taxable estate at market value.
Zugewinngemeinschaft
The default marital regime equalises the growth in each spouse's net worth during the marriage. That means valuing the Indian property at the start and at the end.
Double taxation
With no estate tax treaty in place, careful documentation of Indian tax paid is what supports any credit claim.
