The Ísland.is App

Those who submit an inheritance financial statement can, in the process, submit a summary of funeral costs, which will then be deducted when the inheritance tax is calculated.

To complete the summary, you will need the estate's case number from the District Commissioner.

Deductible costs include:

  • funeral services

  • casket and furnishings

  • cremation

  • printing and floral arrangements

  • music performances in the ceremony

  • rental fee for a hall

  • cost of the funeral reception
