I am due an inheritance from a deceased UK relative upon which UK inheritance tax was paid. However the estate was put into a discretionary trust upon my relatives death and the distribution was from the Trust. I have been advised that these are separate events and that I cannot avail of double tax relief from capital acquisition tax in Ireland as double tax relief only applies to the same event.
It is a very technical argument but it is hard for me to believe that double tax relief would not be granted.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced this previously
